Le gouvernement fédéral commande ses brise-glaces au Québec

24 août 2026 à 20:58

Mark Carney a annoncé que le gouvernement fédéral avait confié à Chantier Davie, à Lévis, dans Chaudière-Appalaches, la construction de six brise-glaces.

Le gouvernement veut remplacer les brise-glaces vieillissants de la Garde côtière canadienne. 

Ces imposants navires:

  • ouvrent les voies commerciales maritimes;
  • répondent aux appels de bateaux en détresse.

Les nouveaux brise-glaces seront construits à partir d’acier et d’autres matériaux canadiens.

Selon Ottawa, le premier sera prêt dans 5 ans et l’ensemble de la flotte, avant 2038.

Le montant total du contrat s’élève à plus de 11 milliards $.
