We had the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Éric Girard, Minister responsible for Regional Economic Development and Minister responsible for the Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean region, and Ms. Marie-Louise Tardif, MP for Laviolette – Saint-Maurice and parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Natural Resources and Forests during their visit to La Tuque on Monday, February 9, 2026.

After a visit to our premises and facilities, our team highlighted the major challenges related to the company’s growth and its future projects.

Thus, several themes were addressed during a discussion table, including one that is particularly important to us: immigration – the recruitment and retention of our foreign workers.

We would like to thank Mr. Minister Girard, Mrs. the Deputy Tardif, Mrs. Virginie Proulx, strategic advisor to the Minister, Mrs. Tania Michaud, press secretary to the Minister, Mr. Hugo Lemay, political attaché of Mrs. the Deputy Tardif, Mr. Olivier Boucher, regional director of Investissement Québec, Mr. Pierre Pacarar, mayor of La Tuque, Mr. Jean-Sébastien Poirier, general manager of La Tuque for their presence and the quality of our exchanges.
