Nuclear players making a push into heavy industry
With just seven months to go before the deadline to complete projects financed by Ottawa's $4-billion Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, legions of backhoes, cranes and other construction machinery are humming across the country to get the work finished on time. The Port of Belledune, in northern New Brunswick, is a key shipping point for bulk commodities, including Canadian wood pellets and zinc concentrate heading to ports around the world, and coal arriving from Columbia and the United States on its way to a nearby power plant. A $61-million expansion of the port is under way, with about $26-million coming from Ottawa's infrastructure program (and $20-million from the province) , and it should be spent by the March 31 deadline, said the port's chief executive officer Rayburn Doucett. "We're right on time and right on budget."
