Cruise ship cancellations deal economic blow to Gaspé, Sept-Îles

Last year, about a third of the ships that were set to dock at the port in Gaspé cancelled planned visits after Transport Canada announced all ships would have to slow down to 10 knots when travelling through the Gulf of St. Lawrence. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/cruise-ship-cancellations-deal-economic-blow-to-gaspé-sept-îles-1.4644757
