Canada’s Minister of Trade, Dominic LeBlanc, announced that the Contrecoeur expansion of the Port of Montreal is included on the preliminary list of major national initiatives under Bill C-5.
According to the portfolio head, his division is ready to take the step of launching the construction of a strategic infrastructure that will allow local businesses to diversify their trade towards future markets, while generating significant positive impacts for Quebec and Canada.
