Safe access to transportation infrastructure in Québec and the rest of Canada is of vital importance to coastal communities and businesses.
Today, the Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, on behalf of Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Transport and Quebec Lieutenant, announced the awarding of a contract to design and prepare plans and specifications for the reconstruction of the fishers' wharf at the Port of Cap-aux-Meules in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
The contract, with a value of $2,681,831 million (including taxes), was awarded to the Centre d'affaires Henri IV joint venture by Public Services and Procurement Canada following a public competitive process.
The reconstruction of the fishers' wharf will support the Îles-de-la-Madeleine community and ensure the continuity of operations at the fishers' wharf in the Port of Cap-aux-Meules, while helping to ensure a strong supply chain in Canada.
This step marks concrete progress towards the completion of the fishers' wharf reconstruction project. Drawing up plans and specifications is a crucial step before we can issue a call for tenders to select the contractor who will carry out the reconstruction work.
