Mr. Speaker, Canada Economic Development is taking part in a fish culture station project in an unused section of the Robert-Bourassa power plant operated by the Radisson Economic Development Corporation.
The aim of this three-year pilot project is to experiment with the controlled breeding of Rupert-strain brook trout using waste heat from the hydroelectric dam.
The Radisson Economic Development Corporation is to be applauded for its efforts to stimulate local entrepreneurship.
This fish farming project is eloquent testimony of the region’s creativity and daringness when it comes to proposing promising new avenues of development.
It is also a good way to generate greater economic spinoff from the operation of hydroelectric power plants in James Bay.
