Category 1: Canadian port authorities under Transport Canada
jurisdiction
Canadian port authorities (CPAs) are independent management corporations
mandated to operate ports deemed essential to domestic and international trade,
forming what is sometimes called a national ports system. Other ports may
qualify for CPA status and join the national system if they meet the criteria
for this category.
There are five such ports in the Quebec
Region:
Category 2: Regional ports under Transport Canada jurisdiction
These ports are not part of the Ports Commercialization and Divestiture
Program. Smaller than the CPAs, they serve regional and local economic, tourism
and recreational needs. They will be transferred to local organizations over a
six-year period ending in March 2002.
The following are the 36 Quebec regional/local ports for which the transfer
process (link to Program Update) has already been set in motion:
Category 3: Remote ports
These ports are located along Quebec's Lower North Shore, where most localities
are connected only by sea.
