Today, Madeleine Chenette, Member of Parliament for Thérèse-De Blainville, is announcing, on behalf of the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for CED, a non‑repayable contribution of $99,000 for Gamotech Inc. Thanks to CED's investment, the manufacturing business will be able to build demonstration units for its electrical trailers, recognized for their innovative energy convertors, while also developing a structured marketing strategy to accelerate its growth. This funding will enable Gamotech to showcase on the international stage a technology that is clean, unique and innovative in North America. This technology will help reduce emissions in key sectors such as construction and road maintenance.
This investment is part of our plan to strengthen the resilience and competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, in addition to supporting the growth of homegrown businesses so they can better integrate into Canadian value chains.
Across Quebec, manufacturers play a key role in regional economic vitality. They innovate, produce, export and help build a stronger, more unified Canadian economy. By leveraging manufacturing businesses in our regions, the Government of Canada is investing in the country's pride, sustainability and economic sovereignty. Products made here at home, by Canadian entrepreneurs, are finding their place in our supply chains and in the daily lives of Canadian consumers.
