Aujourd’hui, aux côtés du commissaire européen au commerce @MarosSefcovic, nous avons marqué le lancement de l’Accord de reconnaissance mutuelle de l’AECG pour les architectes. Les firmes canadiennes ont désormais un accès direct au marché européen de la construction de bâtiments, évalué à 1,1 billion de dollars. Cela signifie plus d’occasions, plus de collaboration et plus de croissance pour l’industrie canadienne des services d’architecture, qui représente 6,8 milliards de dollars — une industrie qui soutient des milliers d’emplois partout au Canada.
