Louis Bergeron, Energy East's Vice President for Québec and New Brunswick, said: "Since I began my new role I've worked to ensure Energy East has an expanded provincial presence with more Québecers involved directly in the development of the project […] The expansion of our office is a testament to our commitment to have more people on the ground here - listening to people and addressing their concerns with respect and understanding."

Mr Bergeron added:"We're committed to maximising the economic benefits for Québec and this office is a clear statement that TransCanada will create even more opportunities for local businesses as we develop and operate the Energy East pipeline […] Opportunities above and beyond the 140 people already working on Energy East in the province and the US$115 million in contracts we've signed with more than 250 Québec suppliers and businesses."
