Gala Evening - Message from the President

The 30th edition of the Mercuriades, once again, generated its share of wonderful discoveries. I would like to congratulate all of the finalists and winners of the 2010 Mercure awards. The dynamism and accomplishments of each company make an important contribution to the economic development of Québec.

Of course, winning a Mercure trophy is a clear testament to a company's spirit of innovation and excellence. In a world that is more competitive than ever, the recognition of our accomplishments provides encouragement that will help us succeed in the future.

I would, therefore, like to specially praise the 2010 winners for their determination to distinguish themselves and succeed in business. Once again, congratulations to everyone!
