News Release

La Pocatière, Quebec, November 6, 2006 The Honourable
Jean-Pierre Blackburn, Minister of Labour and Minister of
Canada Economic Development, took the opportunity during today's
official inauguration of the Centre spécialisé de technologie physique du
Québec's (CSTPQ) new laser welding cell to note that Canada's new government
awarded two non-repayable contributions totalling $248,000 for the design of
this assembly process and for the development of technical and operating
expertise.
"The welding cell developed by the CSTPQ is a leading-edge technology that
will be of considerable benefit to Quebec enterprises. The only one of its kind
in the province, it will offer competitive advantages and help firms become more
competitive and efficient," commented Minister Blackburn.
The new Government of Canada's financial involvement in this project was
intended to enable the CSTPQ to develop and master this new technology in order
to meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises operating in various
industrial sectors. This new welding technique and process will give the
technology transfer centre unique and comprehensive expertise to develop an
experimental development plan for assessing the various parameters of the
process and their interaction when transferring this technology to enterprises.
