From: Environment and Climate Change Canada

Today, the Government of Canada announced an investment of up to $17.5 million from the federal Low Carbon Economy Fund and $28.5 million from the Government of Quebec to support Ciment Québec under the EcoPerformance program.

“Organizations across Canada like Ciment Québec are confronting the climate crisis head-on, finding ways of managing the risks it poses to our health, economy, security, and biodiversity. Through the Low Carbon Economy Fund, our government partners with climate leaders nationwide—and will continue to do so through a renewed commitment of $2.2 billion, an important part of Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan. Bravo to the leadership shown by the Government of Quebec for helping to reduce polluting emissions and build resilient communities.”

– The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change
