Like all occasions that end with a “0” or a “5”, this coming October 22nd will be no different, as we will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the ASQ Montreal section. Hope to see as many members as possible coming out to celebrate this monumental occasion.
Perhaps not as monumental, but still significant for myself, this month marks exactly 15 years of me being on the ASQ Montreal Section Leadership Team, as well as 15 years of being the Newsletter Editor.
Fifteen years ago when current Section Chair and then Newsletter Editor Chantale Simard asked me if I would be interested in the role, I was uncertain at first and procrastinated in making a decision. In the end, I took a chance and said YES. That decision to say YES has given me great professional and life experiences, too many to mention here, and I continue in my role because I continue to enjoy doing it.
I do foresee a day when I may have to step aside, but not quite yet. Their is still gas in the tank, as they say.
So thank you to everyone who helps (or has helped) make this newsletter possible 9 times per year. And thank you especially to everyone who reads it. It is much appreciated.
**********************************************
Any feedback? Click on the link and let me know.
ALSO . . . Please contact me or any one else on the Leadership team if you would like to:
1) Write and submit an article to be published in the Newsletter.
2) Write a review of one of the upcoming monthly webinars for the “Had You Been There” section.
Thank you, all the best and none of the worst.

Résumé de la soirée réseautage “Regards croisés sur la qualité” Par Khalid El Farhaoui, DMV, MBA Professionnel en assurance qualité et sécurité des aliments (English text follows) Facilitatrice: Chantale Simard, présidente de la Section Montréal de l’ASQ |
En cette soirée du 18 juin 2025, la section montréalaise de l’ASQ a tenu sa rencontre sous le thème “Regards croisés sur la qualité”, avec la participation d’une pléiade de professionnels en provenance de secteurs clés de l’économie québécoise: automobile, défense, pharmaceutique et agroalimentaire.
Sous la bienveillance de Samira Kazemi et Chantale Simard, les participants ont été invités à développer trois grandes thématiques, dont l’une portait sur l’intelligence artificielle (IA) – un sujet qui a suscité un réel engouement.
Avec son énergie habituelle, Sam Weissfelner a piloté les restitutions en mettant systématiquement en lumière les opportunités et les enjeux que représente l’IA pour nos métiers.
Chantale Simard a partagé avec le groupe comment l’IA a pu alléger son quotidien en automatisant les tâches répétitives, permettant ainsi de se recentrer sur celles à forte valeur ajoutée.
Dr David Tozer, toujours clair et pédagogue, a souligné les limites des modèles IA basés sur la probabilité et les risques liés à la qualité des données utilisées, pouvant mener à des erreurs récurrentes.
Veronica Marquez, avec son expertise des organisations, a souligné le potentiel extraordinaire de ces outils, mais aussi les défis liés à la protection des données et à la fiabilité des résultats générés par l’IA. Elle a également insisté sur la nécessité d’une gouvernance claire de l’IA, face à des utilisations en forte progression dans les entreprises.
Ce qui m’a marqué? À quel point l’IA est déjà présente dans nos pratiques, le potentiel extraordinaire de ces outils et la rapidité avec laquelle ils progressent.
Ce fut un événement porteur de sens pour la communauté qualité québécoise, que j’espère voir se renouveler plus souvent!
On the evening of June 18, 2025, the Montreal section of ASQ held its meeting under the theme “Perspectives on Quality”, featuring a distinguished group of professionals from key sectors of Quebec’s economy: automotive, defense, pharmaceutical and agri-food.
Under the thoughtful guidance of Samira Kazemi and Chantale Simard, participants were invited to explore three major themes, one of which focused on artificial intelligence (AI) – a topic that sparked genuine enthusiasm.
With his usual energy, Sam Weissfelner led the group presentations, consistently highlighting the opportunities and challenges that AI presents for our professions.
Chantale Simard shared with the group how AI has helped lighten her daily workload by automating repetitive tasks, allowing her to refocus on those with higher added value.
Dr. David Tozer, always clear and educational, emphasized the limitations of AI models based on probability and the risks associated with data quality, which can lead to recurring errors.
Veronica Marquez, drawing on her organizational expertise, highlighted the extraordinary potential of these tools, while also pointing out the challenges related to data protection and the reliability of AI-generated results. She also stressed the need for clear AI governance, given its rapidly growing use in businesses.
What struck me most? How present AI already is in our practices, the extraordinary potential of these tools, and the speed at which they are evolving.
It was a meaningful event for Quebec’s quality community, one I hope to see repeated more often!

By Cesar Camargo, Responsable VoC, (English text follows)
Je remercie mon père de m’avoir inculqué l’amour des livres. Grâce à lui, j’ai fait de la lecture une habitude et un plaisir. L’un des nombreux livres qu’il m’a offerts lorsque j’étais adolescent fut Les yeux du chien sibérien de l’auteur argentin Antonio Santa Ana. De ce livre, je voudrais citer l’extrait suivant:
” . . . à cette époque, j’ai pris l’habitude de noter dans un carnet les phrases des livres que j’aimais, une phrase disait: “Pour entendre, il faut se taire”. Je ne sais pas pourquoi elle m’a tant plu. Aujourd’hui encore, en gardant ce carnet, je peux la relire avec mon écriture tremblante d’alors.” (Santa Ana, 1998).
Cette phrase que le protagoniste du roman a notée dans son carnet m’a également marqué, et je sens qu’elle est plus actuelle que jamais. Écouter est la clé pour faire sentir aux autres qu’ils sont importants. Écouter activement nous permet de comprendre les besoins, les rêves et les désirs des autres. Écouter est la base pour ensuite agir en conséquence et satisfaire les besoins de nos clients.
Dans notre chapitre ASQ Montréal, nous écoutons nos membres et recueillons leurs commentaires positifs, négatifs ainsi que leurs recommandations de thèmes pour les futurs événements.
En dressant le bilan du premier semestre 2025, les événements réalisés ont été évalués avec une moyenne de 95% de satisfaction générale, les conférenciers et les thématiques avec 96%, l’approche avec 95% et les échanges durant l’événement avec 93% de perception positive. Pour l’équipe de leadership du chapitre, il est gratifiant de constater que nos membres participants perçoivent de la valeur dans ces activités.
L’invitation reste ouverte: continuons à être actifs et à profiter du fait de faire partie de cette communauté passionnée par la qualité. À la prochaine.
Cesar Camargo
I am grateful to my father for instilling in me a love for books. Thanks to him, I turned reading into both a habit and a pleasure. One of the many books he gave me when I was a teenager was The Eyes of the Siberian Dog by the Argentine author Antonio Santa Ana. From this book, I would like to share the following excerpt:
“ . . . at that time I got into the habit of writing down in a notebook the phrases from books that I liked. One of them said: “To listen, one must be silent.” I don’t know why I liked it so much. Even today, as I still keep that notebook, I can read it with my shaky handwriting from back then.” (Santa Ana, 1998).
This phrase, which the novel’s protagonist wrote in his notebook, also struck me, and I feel it is more relevant than ever. Listening is the key to making others feel important. Active listening allows us to understand the needs, dreams, and desires of others. Listening is the foundation to then act accordingly and meet the needs of our customers.
At ASQ Montreal Section, we listen to our members and gather their positive and negative feedback, as well as their recommendations for topics for future events.
Looking back at the first semester of 2025, the events we held were rated with an average of 95% overall satisfaction, the speakers and topics with 96%, the approach with 95%, and the interaction during the event with 93% positive perception. For the section leadership team, it is rewarding to see that our members participating in the events are perceiving value in these activities.
The invitation remains open: let’s continue to stay engaged and enjoy being part of this community that is passionate about quality. Until next time!
