Mr. Speaker, the opposition may nor like this, but I would like to draw the attention of this House to the recent association of the governments of Canada and Quebec with Astraltech, to help this company carry out a major revamping of its facilities.
A total investment of $9.5 million will create 30 new jobs and keep 35 existing jobs in the Montreal region.
This project will help Astraltech, a world leader in the communications sector, to relocate its facilities and acquire high-tech equipment, while enhancing Montreal's reputation as the hub of the industry's production for foreign markets.
This project demonstrates the level of excellence that can be achieved when the private sector, the province and the Government of Canada get together to meet the challenge of keeping up with changing technologies. Another winner for Quebec.
