This short text aims at explaining the position of the Association of the manufacturers and exporters of Quebec (AMEQ) on the question of the Quebecois model. For the association, there is a Quebecois model, as there is a French, American, Japanese model or other. This model, neither everything made original, nor the completely similar to the others, is liberal and social at the same moment democratic. It is characterized by the nationalism, the equity and the dialogue. The modern economic story, partially that of the role of the state by the economic control levers which it set up since the “Révolution tranquille”. The Quebecois model allowed the picking up on Ontario but, at the same time, did not manage to lower its unemployment rate at the level of the Canadian avarage. And after reflection, the AMEQ is of opinion that the solution is not in the adoption of elements stemming from the American model. But, the flourish of the model passes by the contribution of the society and not only by state solutions, commercial solutions or of the institutionalized dialogue.
