Today, Quebec's engineering firms possess world-class know-how in a number of sectors. Faced with numerous issues, including international competition, and major challenges, such as ageing infrastructures, a shortage of skilled labour, and global consolidation, Quebec consulting engineering is staying the course with the development of new expertise and growth, at home and on international markets.
