Éric Filion has been with the public utility since 2016, serving in a variety of executive roles after stints at CAE Électronique, Pratt & Whitney Canada and Bombardier, where he oversaw the production of the company’s Challenger business aircraft. (The Logic)
Talking point: Filion, who is said to be moving to the private sector, was considered one of the successors to outgoing CEO Sophie Brochu, who announced her resignation earlier this month.

A recent memo from the utility, obtained by Radio-Canada, said the province would need another 13 dams to satisfy demand.
