What are some of the economic challenges that Quebec has faced over the years in its primary sector as compared to its secondary sector of production?
What will be an ideal response?
Most of Quebec has thin, rocky soil, and the harsh northern climate has meant that farming has been limited to lowland river valleys. Early farmers grew wheat, which could be stored and shipped over long distances, but as the Great Plains was settled, Quebecois farmers could no longer compete. Asbestos mining was also an important part of the economy until it was linked to cancer.
