Patrick Castonguay (YouTube livestream) analyzes a recent report that about two-thirds of Canadian business bankruptcies occurred in Quebec. He cites the figures: 3,097 bankruptcies in Canada, 1,879 in Quebec (≈61%). He attributes the Quebec concentration to cash-flow problems, inventory mismanagement, weak credit scores, and cautious bank lending, exacerbated by COVID-era shocks and temporary government aid that later became repayable loans. Castonguay offers tactical advice: rebuild credit, maintain a margin of credit ~10–15% of revenue to manage receivables and inventory, consider restructuring/asset transfers if near insolvency, and strengthen supplier relationships and contract pipelines to generate growth.
