QIP investments have reached a historic high, i.e. $130.5 billion over the next 10 years, up $15.1 billion from the last fiscal year. This means a total increase of over $30.1 billion that our Government is dedicating to the QIP for two years, an unprecedented but essential initiative to keep the infrastructure portfolio in good condition and support its growth based on emerging needs. Four priorities have been put forward in the development of the 2020-2030 QIP: education, with an additional $5.9 billion, mainly to expand and build primary and secondary schools; public transit, with an additional $3.3 billion and several new projects under study; health, which will benefit from an additional $2.9 billion, in part to build seniors' residences; and culture, with the deployment of the cultural itinerary of various cultural infrastructure in different regions of Québec. In light of the Government's resolution to reduce Greenhouse gas (GHGs) and adapt to climate change, more funds have been earmarked for new public transit projects ($10.4 billion) compared with road transportation ($4.5 billion). This trend will continue over the course of the coming years. Based on the Government's forecasts, projected investments in public transit will ultimately amount to almost $43.8 billion, including the eventual participation of financial partners. No other government in history has gone so far to address traffic congestion problems while reducing GHG emissions associated with public mobility in the medium and long term. For the first time since its implementation, the government intends to balance total investments in public transit with investments allocated to the road network, which could total $42.5 billion. Not only are we granting record amounts to modernize our network and guarantee the road transportation service offer, but we are also investing huge amounts to acquire hybrid and electric buses and to carry out structuring electric public transit projects with rapid bus service and reserved lanes. This QIP is proof that the Government is listening to the needs and priorities of the people. It reflects Québec's ambitions for educational success, environmental protection, improved healthcare and cultural development. And to achieve better public accountability, the Government has committed to expanding its public communications by publishing information related to every infrastructure project of $20.0 million or more in this document and in its Tableau de bord des projets d'infrastructure publique, which is available online. The courage and transparency we have demonstrated since last year to fulfil the expectations of Quebecers are generating the desired outcome. While the economic context is favourable, it is time to step up our efforts to go ahead with projects that are essential to our social and economic prosperity by addressing the obsolescence of our long-neglected assets and spearheading our vision of a greener and prouder Québec.

  • The Laurentians at Orange and Red Levels
    Communiqué de presse Pour publication immédiate Progressive regional alert and intervention system (COVID-19) The Laurentians at Orange and Red Levels Saint-Jérôme, September 29, 2020 – As of Thursday, October 1, and for the next 28 days, the Rivière-du- Nord, Thérèse-De Blainville and Deux-Montagnes MRCs and the Town of Mirabel will be considered Red Zones for the purpose of fighting and monitoring COVID-19. Meanwhile, the status of the Argenteuil, Pays- d’en-Haut, Laurentides and Antoine-Labelle MRCs will change to Alert Level Orange. The CISSS des Laurentides wants the public to understand what that means and the measures that will be put in place to slow the spread of the virus. As they are part of the Montreal Metropolitan Community (MMC), the Thérèse-De Blainville and Deux- Montagnes MRCs and the Town of Mirabel are now Red Zones, following to the Public Health Department’s finding that the virus is spreading at an accelerated rate in those sectors. The same goes for the Rivière-du- Nord MRC, where COVID-19 is spreading at a similar rate. As for the other MRCs of the Laurentian region (those of Argenteuil, Pays-d’en-Haut, Laurentides and Antoine-Labelle), their Alert Level is upgraded to Orange, as the virus is circulating more and more actively in those sectors. Red Alert (Rivière-du-Nord, Thérèse-De Blainville, Deux-Montagnes MRCs, and the Town of Mirabel) Level 4 – Maximum Alert (Red) institutes additional restrictive and targeted measures, that could extend to prohibiting non-essential activities where the risk cannot be sufficiently contained, while avoiding as much as possible a general lock-down like the one imposed during the first wave of the pandemic.

  • Laval/Laurentides/Lanaudière/Abitibi-Témiscamingue) June 18, 2015 to February 2017
    Report of the President of the 3L Area Council – Region 2 (Laval/Laurentides/Lanaudière/Abitibi-Témiscamingue) June 18, 2015 to February 2017 My term began in the thick of the campaign of activities on the 19th of every month, with a rally on June 19 with CEIU Local 10426 in Laval. I helped to organize the “Harperman” video and would like to express a big thank you to all who joined in. The fall of 2015 was a very busy time, with the mobilization activities on the 19th of every month and the courses I took to fully understand my role as President of the Area Council and to complete the PSAC Union Development Program, an intensive education program designed to develop the leadership skills of emerging union activists over ten months, which began in February 2015. I also attended my first meeting of the Quebec Council and my first meeting of the FTQ substance abuse and dependencies committee. In addition, I took several occupational health and safety courses. After becoming President of the Area Council, I resigned from my position as Women’s Coordinator. I was fortunate enough to attend the first FTQ “women’s school” organized by the occupational health and safety group, a wonderful and eye-opening course on traditional and non-traditional workplaces for women. I also took part in the World March of Women in Trois-Rivières. November 19, 2015: Annual meeting of the 3L Area Council, and election. I was re- elected by acclamation as President, Eric Villeneuve was re-elected by acclamation as Vice-President and Manon Lamoureux was re-elected as Treasurer.

  • A Brief History of Kahnawà:Ke
    CZD-SSSL June 30, 2011 D2 A BRIEF HISTORY OF KAHNAWÀ:KE 1-Overview - written historical records The written records of early explorers, such as Cartier, Noel, and Champlain, place Iroquoian peoples throughout the St. Lawrence Basin. Also the records of missionaries and fur traders, give us a more complete account of Iroquoian cultures and languages in this area. 2-Oral tradition – documentation Documentation of oral traditions of continuous Iroquoian-Iroquois presence in the St. Lawrence Valley and Region is important. In looking at a map of the area, and the historic record the geographical importance of the portages at Lachine and Kahnawà:ke are known. We know the Lachine portage is close to Cartier’s Hochelaga, so the appropriateness of the site for Iroquoian occupation is already established. We also know from Kahnawà:ke oral tradition that the turtle clan was located at the Turtle River (near Delson) and the wolf clan was located at the Wolf River (at Chateauguay). The Bear Clan was located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence just below Lachine and thus these three Mohawk clans controlled the portages and the River itself. 3-Archeological evidence Archeological evidence of early settlement of Iroquois people in the area of the St. Lawrence Valley is evidenced in the historic record or even earlier linguistic reconstructions of the pre contact past. 4-Linguistic and other cultural evidence Evidence from language provides us two kinds of evidence: Cartier’s Iroquoians at Hochelaga- Ohserake and modern Iroquois at Caughnawaga-Kahnawà:ke. If the speakers of contemporary languages can be identified with a particular territory over a period of time, then their attachment to that land can be determined on the basis of this evidence.
