Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Brome—Missisquoi for his question. I want to be clear: Modernizing port infrastructure is essential to increasing our productivity, stimulating our regional economies and strengthening the national economy.
On Monday, I was very pleased to stand with Carl Laberge and Stéphanie Desforges from the Port of Saguenay; Louis Ouellet, the reeve of of the Lac-Saint-Jean-Est RCM; my Bloc Québécois colleagues from Jonquière and Lac-Saint-Jean and my colleague from Chicoutimi—Le Fjord to announce $57.6 million for the second wharf project at the Saguenay port. This is a vital project for the region. It is a vital project for Quebec. I hope my colleagues will support the 2025 budget.
