I really appreciate your question.
I want to start by mentioning my fellow port authorities along the St. Lawrence. I represent the Port of Québec, but whether it's the Port of Saguenay, the Port of Trois‑Rivières, the Port of Sept‑Îles or any other provincial port, we are all part of an ecosystem. You'll be meeting with some of those port administrators, if I'm not mistaken. This whole time, I've been talking a lot about the complementary role we each play in a broader ecosystem that serves not just Quebec, but also the Great Lakes.
To answer your first question, I will say that the Port of Québec ranks fourth in the country in terms of revenue. It handles 28 million tonnes of goods a year, generating $2 billion in economic spinoffs annually, while supporting 12,000 jobs in the greater Quebec City area. We serve more than a thousand ships a year.
I am extremely proud to say that we are the leading cruise destination on the St. Lawrence, with 140,000 cruise passengers in 2025 and more than 103 stopovers.
