"It is with openness and respect that we are undertaking this important step, in which we shall respond to legitimate questions from the public," said Carl Laberge, Executive Director of the Port of Saguenay. Although the formal consultation period begins today, the Port has been keen to meet with stakeholders during the development of its project. "Over the past few months, we have interacted with various stakeholders to present our project and gather their comments. Throughout this new phase, we will continue to be transparent and present our project to the public, especially during the information evening to be held in Saint-Fulgence on October 5th. "
