Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new Dartmouth warehouse construction is expected to drive local investment and job growth in Dartmouth. Conversely, the closures in Quebec might eliminate 1,700 permanent jobs, which could reduce regional economic activity and the provincial tax base.
