That's why the Government of Canada is investing in strategic infrastructure projects to strengthen supply chains and ensure Canadian consumers have access to the affordable goods they need, when they need them. Today, on behalf of the Minister of Transport and Internal Trade, the Honourable Anita Anand, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, announced an investment of up to $87.1 million to the Port of Trois-Rivières, under the National Trade Corridors Fund. The project consists of the construction of the new Pier 16 and the reconstruction of Pier 17. Grain and cereal transportation activities will be relocated to Pier 16, while Pier 17 will be dedicated exclusively for unloading aluminum, calcined coke, and alumina. These enhancements will improve the flow of cargo traffic, reduce port congestion, and boost overall efficiency at the Port. The Port will be better equipped to support and grow the economy in Trois-Rivières and Quebec. Quotes "Consumers, workers, and small businesses benefit from efficient and reliable supply chains.
