Sylvain Gaudreault is the Parti Québécois MNA for the borough of Jonquière in the city of Saguenay. He’s skeptical of the purported reasons for the investment company’s withdrawal. (Radio-Canada)
Gaudreault said he thinks it has more to do with economic and environmental concerns, and the unpopularity of what he calls “20th-century” development compared with renewable energy projects.
Gaudreault has never been a supporter of the project and said, if anything, this news “sends a message that these types of projects are more and more difficult to finance.”
He described the loss of a potential investor for GNL Quebec as one that will be hard to replace.
