GASPÉ, Que. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau travelled to Quebec's Gaspé region on Wednesday and made a campaign-style announcement of $25 million to expand a wind turbine plant to produce blades destined for markets in the United States and Europe.
"We have the skills, expertise and resources here in Canada to be leaders in clean technologies," Trudeau told a gathering at the plant in Gaspé, about 700 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.
"And our government will continue to take real actions to develop our industrial advantage when it comes to renewable energy."
After listing a series of green-energy investments his government has recently made, the prime minister said, "It's been six years I've been trying to explain to Conservatives — who refuse to listen but Canadians understand well — that fighting climate change and protecting the environment is the way to secure the jobs of the future."
