PM announces construction of natural gas pipeline in Thetford Mines
13 December 2010
Thetford Mines, Quebec
"Our Government cares about the interests of Quebec’s regional communities, and this announcement will help stimulate economic growth in the Thetford Mines region for generations to come," said the Prime Minister. "This pipeline will create jobs and economic opportunities in the region, while providing local businesses and institutions with an affordable source of energy."
The project will be carried out by the Gaz Métro company, which will finance part of the venture itself.
This new infrastructure in the Thetford Mines region will represent an added incentive in attracting investment to the region and convincing new businesses to set up shop there.
"Our Government has already been very successful in its economic initiatives, and it will continue to generate good results for hard-working Canadians," added Prime Minister Harper.
