Québec Marine Transportation Policy - Transport - Gouvernement ...

Recommendations

Info

2 The main areas of concern were agreed upon after consultations held in August 2000 and March 2001. All the partners involved in shipping agree that this means of transportation can play an increasing role in the future. The Québec Marine Transportation Policy sets out in concrete terms the vision that the gouvernement du Québec has developed with its partners. Through this policy the government seeks to address three major issues: • Provide ease of movement of passengers and cargo through a competitive shipping industry. • Develop related industries such as cruise travel and shipbuilding and repair. • Coordinate government action relative to the shipping industry and the socio-economic development of coastal regions. One of the ministry’s missions is to facilitate the movement of passengers and goods and to manage the overall planning of the transport system in Québec. The ministère des Transports is, therefore, proud to introduce this concrete action plan for marine transportation which clearly sets out A source of pride and prosperity a direction for the future. This policy is also part of an overall plan to create a single, integrated transport policy that will bring together all the different means of transportation. Work is currently underway in this area. Throughout history the Saint-Laurent has contributed to Québec’s overall development and still does today. The river is one of our most valuable natural resources and we want to be able to continue to see it as a source of pride and prosperity for the future. We must, therefore, all work together to develop the Saint-Laurent.
