Nicole Trépanier honorary chair of Québec maritime strategy day

Nicole Trépanier is the honorary chair of the day-long Québec maritime strategy conference to be held on February 10, 2015 in Montréal. SODES is proud to join Les Événements Les Affaires to present this event, which is intended for all marine industry stakeholders.

Prospects, issues and business opportunities

A key Liberal government project, the first Québec Maritime Strategy targets economic recovery, while stimulating job creation and investment. The St. Lawrence River’s development commands significant interest. Although major investments are expected, many questions remain as to the shape the strategy will take, the marine industry’s enhanced competitiveness and the funding needed to develop infrastructures and logistics centres.

Minister for Transport and the Implementation of the Maritime Strategy Jean D’Amour will make a special presentation about the project’s deployment, the 30 000 new jobs it expects to generate, private-sector investment of $4 billion and tax impacts estimated at $3.5 billion.

The Government’s first maritime strategy is becoming more and more concrete. Like the relaunching of the Plan Nord, the strategy will serve as a lever propelling the Québec economy forward.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the impacts of the Québec maritime strategy.
