Aluminum smelters: back to square one

The excellent article by Francis Vailles on aluminum smelters (The Press, December 12) made me go back to the time when I was in charge of the SGF (1991-1997). When I arrived, Quebec was already a favored host country for aluminum smelters. Société Générale de Financement held 25% of the Bécancour plant and we launched Alouette in Sept-Îles at that time.
