Montreal, December 6, 2010 – The Conference of Rectors and Principals of Quebec Universities (CREPUQ) is very pleased with the federal government’s announcement that the deadline for work begun under the Knowledge Infrastructure Program will be extended from March 31, 2011, to October 31, 2011.

“Extending the deadline to October 31, 2011, is excellent news. Construction work will now continue on projects that could not have been completed by March 31. Nonetheless, the vast majority of approved projects will be completed, as scheduled, by March 31,” said Denis Brière, Chair of the CREPUQ Board of Directors and Rector of Université Laval.

“The Knowledge Infrastructure Program provides support that helps maintain high-quality teaching and research in Quebec universities. This, in turn, allows them to continue making a significant contribution to knowledge and science, as well as to Quebec’s economic, social and cultural development,” noted Daniel Zizian, President and Director General of CREPUQ.

CREPUQ includes all Quebec universities. The organization acts as their voice in relations with government and milieus concerned with university education and research. It also fosters coordination and collaboration between universities, is a research centre for university administrations, acts as a centre for coordination and joint service delivery, and is a resource centre and think tank for its members.
