The Business Minister says every industry has it's challenges, and no one is pleased to hear about the AVIS contact centre closing in Fredericton.
Victor Boudreau says the industry supplies close to $1.5 billion dollars of revenue for the provincial economy, and employs close to 19 thousand people.
Boudreau says the closure of one centre is a bump in the road, and the industry continues to need support.
Boudreau says being in a global recession every industry is facing challenges, but the province is committed to helping keep contact centres open for business in New Brunswick.
Boudreau was in Saint John to announce $1 million dollars in assistance for technology advancements to help companies with their commercial development needs.
