This document has been issued in French under the title: RAPPORT PROVISOIRE D’ÉVALUATION ENVIRONNEMENTALE – Projet Laurentia : Quai en eau profonde dans le port de Québec – Secteur de Beauport DRAFT ENVIRONMENTALE ASSESSMENT REPORT – LAURENTIA PROJECT: PORT OF QUEBEC DEEP-WATER WHARF – BEAUPORT SECTOR i IMPACT ASSESSMENT AGENCY OF CANADA Summary The Quebec Port Authority (the proponent) proposes to extend the line of the existing wharf eastward by 610 metres in order to operate a deep-water terminal dedicated to containerized general cargo. The 31.7 hectare Project would include the construction of a new berth and a retaining dyke that would allow the development of an additional 17 hectares of backshore space. The Project also includes the construction of railways and road access, the reconfiguration of two rainwater outlets and Henri-Bourassa Boulevard with the addition of an overpass, as well as the redevelopment of part of the Port of Quebec's existing land for truck loading and the partial relocation of the recreation and tourism area for the development of the operations support area and empty container storage. The Canadian Impact Assessment Agency (the Agency) is carrying out an environmental assessment of the Project in accordance with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (2012) (CEAA 2012). The Project is subject to CEAA 2012 as it was designated on July 31, 2015, by the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change under subsection 14(2): “The Minister may, by order, designate a physical activity that is not prescribed by regulations made under subsection 84(a) if, in the Minister’s opinion, either the carrying out of that physical activity may cause adverse environmental effects or public concerns related to those effects may warrant the designation.” The environmental assessment continues under CEAA 2012 as it was initiated prior to the coming into force of the Impact Assessment Act. The submitted Project did not undergo a provincial environmental assessment, but collaboration has been ongoing with the Ministère de l'Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques du Québec (MELCC) for port expansion projects currently under assessment by the Agency, including that of the proponent. The approach, developed in the spirit of the Canada-Quebec Agreement on Environmental Assessment Cooperation, provides for the participation of the Quebec government in the federal environmental assessment under the coordination of the MELCC. MELCC's participation ensures the integration of provincial expertise and perspectives with those of the federal government at each stage of the environmental assessment process. This draft Environmental Assessment Report was completed following a technical review of the Environmental Impact Statement and additional documentation from the proponent, and after an assessment of the potential environmental effects of the Project by the Agency, supported by an Environmental Assessment Committee composed of Environment and Climate Change Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Health Canada, Parks Canada, Transport Canada, Natural Resources Canada, the Laurentian Pilotage Authority, the Canadian Coast Guard and the MELCC. As part of the environmental assessment, the Agency also took into account the concerns and comments of the Huron-Wendat Nation, the Grand Conseil de la Nation Waban-Aki, the Mohawk First Nations of Kahnawà:ke, Kanesatake, and Akwesasne, the Innu First Nations of Essipit, Pessamit and Pekuakamiulnuatsh (Mashteuiatsh), and the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) Wahsipekuk First Nation. It also took into account the comments of citizens' groups, environmental and economic groups, as well as the public. In conducting this environmental assessment, the Agency considered the effects that the Project is likely to have on the following components: Those under federal jurisdiction, as described in subsection 5(1) of the CEAA 2012; DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REPORT – LAURENTIA PROJECT: PORT OF QUEBEC DEEP -WATER WHARF – BEAUPORT SECTOR ii IMPACT ASSESSMENT AGENCY OF CANADA Those that are directly related to or result from federal decisions enabling the Project to be carried out in accordance with subsection 5(2) of the CEAA 2012; Species mentioned in the Species at Risk Act and their critical habitat, as well as species designated as threatened or vulnerable under the Quebec Act Respecting Threatened or Vulnerable Species; Species designated by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. The Agency also considered the factors set out in subsection 19(1) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (2012). In light of concerns raised by the public and various experts from federal and provincial governments, the Agency identified the effects on air quality and human health caused by road and rail transportation associated with the project, which would take place in the borough of La Cité- Limoilou, as another factor relevant to the environmental assessment under paragraph 19(1)(j) of CEAA 20121. The issues mainly concern the activities planned during the construction and operational phases in relation to air quality, noise and light management. The environmental assessment conducted by the Agency identified the following key potential environmental effects: Air quality effects related to air contaminant emissions; Transboundary effects resulting from greenhouse gas emissions; Loss or alteration of wetlands caused by the presence of Project infrastructure or activities; Loss of terrestrial environments (soil and vegetation) linked in particular to soil contamination and the spread of invasive alien species; Effects on fish and fish habitat resulting from Project infrastructure and activities that would take place in or near water that could result in mortality and disturbance of individuals and loss and alteration of aquatic habitat, including through noise, water contamination and changes in water regime; Disturbance of birds, their eggs and nests as well as habitat loss and modification caused by the Project's infrastructure and activities that could result in disturbance by noise, light and human presence; Effects on Striped Bass, Bank Swallow, Nighthawk, Peregrine Falcon, Chimney Swift, Monarch and Victorin's Water-hemlock, which are special status species due, in particular, to the disturbance by noise, light and human presence caused by the Project's infrastructure and activities; Effects on human health resulting from air contaminant emissions, noise and light emissions caused by the Project's infrastructure and activities; Effects on First Nations' use of lands and resources for fishing and cultural practices caused by environmental changes on fish and fish habitat; Effects on commercial fishing, recreational fishing, recreational activities, such as kite-surfing, and other recreational activities caused by changes to the environment on wind patterns, aquatic habitats, wetlands or landscape that could affect fish and fish habitat as well as air and water quality; Effects on natural and cultural heritage as well as archaeological and historical resources caused by the modification of the landscape. 1 https://iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/evaluations/document/132490 DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REPORT – LAURENTIA PROJECT: PORT OF QUEBEC DEEP -WATER WHARF – BEAUPORT SECTOR iii IMPACT ASSESSMENT AGENCY OF CANADA The proponent has committed to incorporating mitigation measures into the Project that would avoid or minimize its adverse effects. Compensation measures are also proposed to offset residual adverse effects, if any. The Agency has identified key mitigation and follow-up measures required to avoid significant adverse environmental effects by taking into account the measures proposed by the proponent, the opinion of government authorities and comments received from First Nations and the public. However, these measures taken together would not sufficiently mitigate the potential effects of the Project to conclude that these residual effects are not significant. The Agency is of the opinion that the Project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects, including: Significant direct and cumulative residual adverse environmental effects on fish and fish habitat due to destruction and permanent alteration of habitat, even with the application of mitigation, monitoring, compensation and follow-up measures; Significant direct and cumulative residual adverse environmental effects on air quality and human health due to increased emissions of particulate matter and contaminants from fossil fuel combustion during both the construction and operational phases of the terminal in an environment previously saturated with airborne contaminants; Significant direct and cumulative residual adverse environmental effects on

  • The Canadian Dollar and the Dutch and Canadian Diseases
    Volume 6•Issue 30•October 2013 THE CANADIAN DOLLAR AND THE DUTCH AND CANADIAN DISEASES* Serge Coulombe† Department of Economics, University of Ottawa SUMMARY With the spectacular rise of the dollar, along with rising natural-resource prices during the first decade of the 21st century, Canadians heard a great deal about Dutch disease. Many politicians and pundits blamed the phenomenon — in which a country’s currency, inflated by rising commodity prices, renders manufacturing exports increasingly uncompetitive — for rising unemployment in the Canadian manufacturing industry. But a close look at what happened during that period reveals that the Dutch disease mechanism was only part of the story. The other part, and quantitatively the most important, is an affliction of an altogether different providence: Canadian disease. Canadian disease is the economic trouble that can be caused by Canada’s extraordinarily heavy reliance on the United States as a trading partner. As a consequence, a sudden depreciation of the U.S, dollar will deteriorate the competitiveness of Canadian manufacturing exporters. Such a phenomenon was at work during the “Great Appreciation” of the Canadian dollar between 2002 and 2008 — the largest such appreciation on record in this country. The depreciation of the U.S. dollar is a phenomenon that is independent of the resource boom and the resulting consequences on the Canadian economy cannot be endorsed to a Dutch disease. Almost 2/3 of the employment losses that are exchange rate related in the trade-exposed manufacturers in Canada during the 2002–2008 period could be attributed to the Canadian disease. The Canadian dollar is partly driven by commodity prices, and the appreciation of the Canadian dollar exerts a negative impact on manufacturing industries that are exposed to international competition.

    The Creative Economy and the English Speaking Communities in Quebec REPORT SUBMITTED TO INDUSTRY CANADA BY TRACY ZHANG, PH.D.(SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR INSTITUTE, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY), WITH AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY PREPARED BY AURELIA ROMAN, M.A. ON BEHALF OF THE QUEBEC ENGLISH - SPEAKING COMMUNITIES RESEARCH NETWORK (QUESCREN) QUESCREN is a joint initiative of the Canadian Institute for Research on Linguistic Minorities and Concordia University's School of Extended Learning MONTREAL, 2012-03-31 The Creative Economy and English-speaking Communities in Quebec EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Creative Economy and English-Speaking Communities in Quebec presents preliminary research results based on a focus group, private key informant interviews, and bibliographical research. It demonstrates that the concepts of the creative economy are useful in charting cultural and economic development for the English-speaking communities in Quebec (ESCQ). The English-speaking population in Quebec forms the largest provincial Official Language Minority Community in Canada. In recent decades, the composition of this population has become increasingly complex and multicultural. Parallel to this demographic shift, the influence of English-language Quebec culture has also evolved. English-speakers are said to have a high participation rate in the arts, culture and heritage sectors. In this context, organizations from these sectors are increasingly involved in supporting the socioeconomic development of the ESCQ. This report reflects growing concerns on the part of representatives of some of these organizations who participated in the study over how to apply the creative economy theory to generate effective models of cultural-economic development for the ESCQ. Due to the preliminary nature of the research involved in this study, coupled with the range of understandings about the creative economy reflected in the participants' comments and our annotated bibliography, the report does not recommend a single definition of "creative economy".

They are innovative governance models that fill an institutional gap by activating policy and engagement at the municipal level. Territorial, or city-region, food systems are the systems of innovation, which combine the goals of quality, health, ecology, fairness and participative democracy. Multi-level and cross-sectorial partnerships can help re-adjust the institutional context to enable, facilitate and champion the emergence of social innovations carried by civic food networks (CFNs). The process of creating an FPC opens a window on the food politics of a place, its actors, and history.

They may be Francophone descendants of mercenaries in the 18th century or Anglophone immigrants of the 1950s. In the 1980s, after a long period of official downplaying of the presence of the Germans, some German-Canadian leaders fought for recognition of the German contribution to a multicultural Canada. Many German-Quebecers took over this discourse, but some refused the idea of a German ‘founding people’ and insisted on the distinct role of their Francophone society. Furthermore, even in Canada, post-war immigrants had to come to terms with the German past; the victimisation often characterized the German- Canadian press, since readers many, of whom lived in Québec often were expellees of the German ‘eastern territories’ and the few exiles often chose to stay invisible. Thus for its citizens of German heritage, Québec became the place of encounter of several competing identity discourses, whether it was about the role of Francophones in Canadian history or about the role of Germans.

  • Topic Sheets REGION LAND TRANSPORTATION
    REGION QUEBEC AND LÉVIS Topic Sheets © Dominique Baby The cities of Quebec and Lévis are part of the Communauté métropolitaine de Québec (CMQ), which includes a total of 28 municipalities. These two cities represent 85% of the total population of the CMQ which numbers 751 990 inhabitants in all. The special feature of this region is that it is divided by the St. Lawrence River, a natural barrier crossed by 35% of the residents of Lévis daily as they go to work in Quebec City! In 2006, 80% of the active population active of the CMQ travelled to work by car. More specifically, 5% 1 of the population of Lévis and 10% 2 of the population of Quebec used shared transportation for these trips. Did you know that ridership on the Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC) increased from 37.5 to 45.6 million pas - sengers between 2004 and 2008, an increase of more than 20% ? LAND TRANSPORTATION Before the construction of the Quebec Bridge, it was necessary to take a ferry or wait for the winter to cross the St. Lawrence, when an ice bridge joined the two shores. Quebec’s two bridges were built at the narrow - est point of the river, about 10 km upstream from Old Quebec . The name “Quebec” comes from the Algonquin word “kebec,” which means “where the river narrows.” THE QUEBEC BRIDGE From the time that construction began in 1904, the bridge collapsed twice, before finally being opened in 1919. Some debris from the bridge can still be seen today at low tide.

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.

  • July 1, 1867 Quebec Becomes a Province
    July 1, 1867 Quebec Becomes a Province Quebec was one of the four original provinces of the Dominion of Canada, and is the largest province of Canada. Quebec has had a very strong French influence throughout its history. Its rapid industrial growth is partly due to the many rivers located there. Quebec ranks first as a producer of hydroelectric power in North America. The first permanent European settlement in Canada was in Quebec, along the St. Lawrence River. There are many attractions in Quebec for tourists, including historical and art museums, along with outdoor attractions such as hiking, skiing, and canoeing. Music and art festivals are also very popular. A few of the many famous people from Quebec include Myriam Bedard, Joseph-Armand Bombardier, Maurice "Rocket" Richard, Jacques Villeneuve, Patrick Roy, Mario Lemieux, and Marc Garneau. Look at the map of Quebec below. Label the capital of Quebec. Locate the cities of Salluit, Fort Rupert, Caniapiscau, Chibougamau, Forestville, Havre-St.-Pierre, Lac-Cayamant, Aylmer, Hull, St. Pascal, Drummondville, Montmagny, Aguanish, Kuujjuarapik, Verdun, Ste-Anne-du-Lac, and Gatineau. and label them on the map. Now label Mount Iberville, Mount Tremblant, Mount Royal, the Sutton Mountains, the Monteregians, the Laurentian Mountains, and the Canadian Shield. Also, locate the Saguenay River, St. Maurice River, Ottawa River, Chaudière River, Richelieu River, St. Francis River, St. Lawrence River, Montmorency River, Lake Sakami, Lake Eau Claire, Lake Hutte Sauvage, Lake Magpie, Lake St.-Jean, Lake Naococane, and Lake Pletipe, and label them. Lastly, label the provinces, states, or bodies of water that border Quebec. When you have finished, move on to the timeline of Quebec history on the next page and the research prompts that follow.
