GASPÉ, Que. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Quebec’s Gaspé region today to make an economic announcement in the latest in a series of campaign-style stops.
The prime minister began his day in Percé, where he hosted an economic roundtable discussion and strolled down the town’s picturesque boardwalk for a photo with local MP and federal Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier.
During the opening remarks of the roundtable, Trudeau announced support for upgrades to the wharf at the Port of Cap-aux-Meules in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine and said Ottawa is withdrawing plans to transfer the port to a lower level of government.
Later today, Trudeau will make an announcement at a wind power plant in Gaspé along with Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne, Lebouthillier and Quebec’s energy minister.
