Support measures for the development of our economy

Québec's economic performance, notably in terms of job creation, is largely attributable to the government's economic diversification and revamping policies. These economic development efforts must be pursued by strengthening the shift to the knowledge-based economy and continuing measures to reinforce regional economies.

This Supplement announces:

$118 million to support development of the biotechnology sector

The creation of new innovation centres

$15 million for continuation of the Technology Showcase Assistance Program of the ministère de l'Industrie et du Commerce

Support for regional economies

  • Additional support for the Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine recovery plan
  • Refundable tax credit for processing activites in the resource regions
  • Refundable tax credit for Gaspésie and certain maritime regions of Québec
  • Refundable tax credit for the Vallée de l'aluminium
