Quebec Government is really enthused by Quest Rare Mineral, speaks volumes to me.

The prosperity of Quebec is also linked to an ambitious project: the Plan Nord. You may already know.

The project is focused on the planned and integrated development of mines, energy, forests, organic food and the tourist, cultural and social potential of the territory north of the 49e parallel, a scope over 460 000 square miles.

This territory represents nearly five times the size of the United Kingdom.

The mining sector is already present, and we are looking for partnerships.

For example, the rare earth elements are a critical strategic resource for many of the products that we take for granted, such as smart phones and medical devices, but also, and it is important to emphasize, for green technology that our world needs today.

In Quebec, we will soon have the chance to have projects on rare earths, such as Quest Rare Minerals, which owns large amounts of heavy rare earth elements.

If we want hybrids, electric cars and energy efficient as well as of new generation wind turbines, then industry needs of the rare earth elements.

My Government has understood and he is enthusiastic about the idea that end users and strategic partners can work these projects to obtain strategic resources in Quebec.

Practices responsible, innovative and friendly environment for mining are the norm in Quebec.

We export our expertise on this subject anywhere in the world. And those who succeed in developing with us the potential mining Plan North, today and in the near future, know very well that the best environmental practices are not only required and expected, but also viable economically for their projects, especially when they are integrated as soon as possible.

Of course, we have a lull in global demand for some metals and minerals. Northern Plan is the framework that will create conditions for the promotion of the mineral potential of Quebec for the next favorable cycle.

We establish a clear and predictable framework for investors; We have created the society of the North Plan which will coordinate the development of the territory.

The integration of different modes of transport in a network coherent multiuser will allow to share the costs of the required infrastructure.

The exploitation of our vast northern territory requires us to build strategic infrastructure.

Northern Plan is the framework through which we evaluate needs and social, environmental and economic opportunities everywhere throughout the territory, which is twice the area of the France.

Recently, we announced investments on the built roads linking northern communities that form a crucial socio-economic axis of the Plan Nord.

In order to release a portion of the mineral potential of the Plan Nord, we announced an investment of 20 million dollars in partnership with mining companies to conduct feasibility studies.

The study is designed to extend a railway line to the northern border and to optimize existing infrastructure to well to stimulate economic development in the North.

Obviously, international investors are welcome.

The Northern Territory has more than 75 000 square miles of forests that can be exploited in a sustainable manner. The clean, cold waters create a conducive environment for aquaculture.

In addition, the waterways of the territory, the geophysical characteristics and the nature in the wild offer outstanding ecotourism potential. protected areas and opportunities for observing wildlife, guided tours of hydro and cruises.

The Northern Plan builds on the desire to listen, mutual respect, openness, dialogue and solidarity. Designed in close continuous collaboration with peoples who occupy the territory for thousands of years, and it will be built as well.

Northern Plan excludes parts of the territory of industrial activities and create a network of protected areas. It combines the conservation development in one of the most comprehensive sustainable development projects in the world.

Since the Plan Nord has everything to gain technical innovation and international scientific collaboration, we have created theNPI of Quebec.

The Institute will provide scientific and technical knowledge they need to communities, Governments and the private sector. It will serve as a hub for research projects are carried-out by member universities.

The Institute brings together teams of social and natural sciences, health and engineering. All these disciplines will provide valuable input.
