The City of Lévis was approached shortly after his resignation to propose substantially the same position, with additional functions concerning the management of buildings and rolling stock. "It gives me the opportunity to continue in an area close to my heart," says Guy Renaud Tuesday, his first day working at Lévis.
The new Director-General said to be excited about the challenges that open before him. "The growth of Levis is as interesting as that of Quebec."
He does not anticipate any friction or unease with the administration Labeaume, it has necessarily to be around, especially on environmental issues. "I left Quebec in very good terms," he adds.
"A good size"

"Mr. Labeaume said some good words on this framework, she says. He told me he would surely be pleased with us. "
