“Our Government’s top priority remains the economy,” said the Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of State for the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec. “With the economic recovery still fragile, we will continue to take action to protect and create jobs in Canada, including the important forestry jobs in La Tuque.”
The project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by close to 80,000 tonnes annually — equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of almost 22,000 cars.
