The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that National Bank of Canada chief executive officer Laurent Ferreira says Quebec must quickly leverage its energy and natural resources to avoid falling behind as other provinces invest in infrastructure. The Globe's Justine Hunter writes that Mr. Ferriera is urging increased collaboration with Ontario and suggested that Quebec produce its own natural gas to support Ottawa's economic initiatives. British Columbia is advancing mining and LNG projects, Manitoba is developing the Port of Churchill, and Ontario is focusing on critical minerals in Northern Ontario and enhancing its nuclear sector. Mr. Ferreira says Quebec should join in these efforts to drive the federal government's plans to make Canada an energy superpower. Mr. Ferreira says: "I travel around the country, and it feels like most provinces are accelerating discussions and decisions around rebuilding our economic sovereignty, and it seems a little slower in Quebec. We're going to need energy, and that's an area where we haven't built enough infrastructure." He says Quebec should rely on its natural gas resources or other Canadian sources instead of imports.
