“Half of the cargo moving through the Port of Trois-Rivières is critical minerals. Our plan to build mines faster and use our rail network will help the region ship these minerals across Canada and to Europe.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent question. I have been to his riding as well. We had some great visits. In fact, 50% of transshipments at the port of Trois-Rivières consist of critical minerals. There are investments that will speed up the process. Canada’s commitments to accelerate the development of critical minerals and mines in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada, and the use of a rail network connecting to the port of Trois-Rivières, will really allow the region to play its role to the full, whether in terms of shipping critical minerals to European markets or, once again, shipping domestically in Canada to meet processing needs.”
