Position Paper : The Pontiac’s Place on the Economic Landscape of the Outaouais

The future of the MRC Pontiac is linked with that of the Outaouais. Beyond an area that
aims to make sustainable use of its resources, the Pontiac is first and foremost an
occupied territory that ranks 102nd out of 104 MRCs according to Quebec’s Economic
Health Index. Since a region is strong when its weakest links are strong, the elected
officials of the Outaouais have an interest in sharing a vision of development that will
have a positive social and economic impact throughout the region.
