Filion made headlines last week when he announced his departure from Hydro-Québec. That announcement, coming just a few weeks after Hydro-Québec CEO Sophie Brochu announced she would be leaving the Crown corporation, sparked speculation over what direction the company will take. The Legault government has announced Quebec’s transition away from fossil fuels — and economic development — would require substantially more output from the utility.

Filion ends his association with Hydro-Québec Feb. 17 and begins work at Bombardier Feb. 20.
