“When we have foreign investors that come to Montreal who look at investing in our projects, or look at investing in their own business by erecting a new head office, we’ll tour the city. What’s amazing to see is how astonished they are of how great the culture is in our city. From Old Montreal, to downtown, to the suburbs. And how close, how everything is within close proximity. Within 50 kilometers you can be in the South Shore, to Laval.

In most other places or states, provinces, you won’t get that far, you won’t have that much availability in those various markets. So they’re attracted to the culture, they’re attracted to the people, they’re attracted to the possibilities, and the cost of living.”
