Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to mention the opening, today, of the Institut des communications graphiques du Québec, in Montreal.
Through its $3 million financial contribution, the Government of Canada concretely shows its interest in technological development and innovation, particularly in Quebec's publishing industry.
This initiative will allow the industry to be at the forefront of new technologies, thanks to the possibilities provided by multimedia and the information highway, which have become indispensable tools for the development of a modern society.
