Jean D’Amour’s appointment to the position of Minister for Transport and the Implementation of the Maritime Strategy is a clear sign of the government’s desire to prioritize the marine sector as a tool for economic development.
With this appointment, the Liberal Party’s vision, as announced in its 2014 election platform, “to increase the economic spinoffs resulting from activities linked to the St. Lawrence River”, has a good chance of materializing.
Marie-France Daoust is Director of Corporate Affairs at the Société de développement économique du Saint-Laurent (Sodes). With more than 15 years’ experience in entrepreneurship, 10 years in strategic management within the Quebec government and 5 years in public and government affairs, she stands out for her leadership and ability to bring people together. In her role, she is responsible for developing business growth strategy, forging strategic partnerships, and mobilizing maritime organizations around today’s major issues.
