From Global News.

Construction has officially started on a port expansion near Montreal, in what is the first so-called nation-building project to be fast-tracked for approval by the federal government.

Prime Minister Mark Carney was on hand Thursday in Contrecœur, Que, about 45 kilometres northeast of Montreal, to announce the start of work.

Carney’s government had chosen Contrecœur and a series of other “nation-building” projects to be fast-tracked as a way to strengthen and diversify the economy amid trade uncertainty with the U.S.

The government says the project is the largest port expansion in Canadian history, will increase the Port of Montreal’s capacity by approximately 60 per cent and create thousands of jobs.
