P.Q. invests into Plan Nord

 

In a report by Le Devoir, Premier Pauline Marois announced an $800 million investment into what she and her natural resources minister are calling Plan Nord 2.0.

 

The new money will not only go into mining projects, but also to improve the quality of life in Quebec's vast northlands.

 

Lodging, infrastructure and transportation are a few of the areas that will benefit greatly from the investment.

 

The opposition Liberals claim that the P.Q. simply copied their idea that was first thought up by former Premier Jean Charest.

 

They are also labeled as hypocrites as the P.Q. denounced the Plan Nord during the last election campaign last year.
