Government of Canada Invests in Quebec Supply Chain Projects

The Government of Canada announced a significant investment of up to $38 million in Quebec under the National Trade Corridors Fund. This funding targets seven strategic infrastructure projects aimed at reducing capacity constraints and bottlenecks, thereby facilitating faster movement of goods. Key projects include the expansion of the Montreal Port Authority's export capacity for containerized grains, the development of an industrial-port zone by QSL International, and enhancements at the Quebec Port Authority's facilities. These initiatives are expected to support economic growth along the St. Lawrence River and improve the efficiency of Canada's supply chains.
