"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3724398\" data-originallang=\"en\">That's a very good question. I think part of the answer is within the plan, and it is a greater focus on economic diplomacy on the needs of SMEs. When you meet diplomats abroad, the fact is that they are now more than ever\u2014I think they've always done this\u2014helping to build connections with businesses, whether it's in India, or in Africa, or in the United States. I've seen this happen, with a greater focus on not what the needs of our SMEs are, but on what they have to offer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3724399\" data-originallang=\"en\">Part of it is being more knowledgeable about what we have to offer. In manufacturing, for example, obviously a big part of the future of manufacturing is niche markets. By definition, this starts with a small firm producing something extremely innovative and original. My view is that it's true the statistics show that there are not a lot of SMEs exporting, but for those that are, they are very enthusiastic and entrepreneurial about it. The idea is to connect those entrepreneurs that we do have with the growing markets, and that's the job of economic diplomacy. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3724400\" data-originallang=\"en\">That's still a very general answer, but I think part of it is information.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3724398\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est une excellente question. \u00c0 mon avis, la r\u00e9ponse se trouve en partie dans le plan: il faut mettre davantage l'accent sur la diplomatie \u00e9conomique, sur les besoins des PME. Lorsque vous rencontrez des diplomates \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger, le fait est qu'ils aident plus que jamais \u2014 et je crois qu'ils l'ont toujours fait \u2014 \u00e0 \u00e9tablir des rapports avec les entreprises, que ce soit en Inde, en Afrique ou aux \u00c9tats-Unis. Je constate qu'on met davantage l'accent non pas sur les besoins des PME, mais sur ce qu'elles ont \u00e0 offrir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3724399\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il faut en partie savoir davantage ce qu'on a \u00e0 offrir. Dans le secteur manufacturier, par exemple, l'avenir se trouve en grande partie dans les cr\u00e9neaux. Par d\u00e9finition, cela commence par une petite entreprise qui produit quelque chose d'extr\u00eamement original et novateur. Il est vrai que les statistiques montrent qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de PME qui exportent, mais celles qui le font sont tr\u00e8s enthousiastes et sont dot\u00e9es de la fibre entrepreneuriale. Il s'agit d'\u00e9tablir des rapports entre ces entrepreneurs et les march\u00e9s croissants. Voil\u00e0 le r\u00f4le de la diplomatie \u00e9conomique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3724400\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma r\u00e9ponse est tr\u00e8s g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, mais je crois que l'information fait partie de l'\u00e9quation.</p>"
