			 			<p>Quebec is offering to help Houston in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and is at the ready&nbsp;for when officials there say they need it, says Minister of International Relations Christine St-Pierre.</p> 
<ul> 
 <li><strong><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/texas-welcomes-prayers-and-hurricane-relief-from-quebecers-1.4273452">UPDATE: Texas official disputes declining Quebec's Harvey aid and asking for prayers instead</a></strong></li> 
</ul> 
<p>St-Pierre says she spoke with Texas Secretary of State&nbsp;Rolando&nbsp;Pablos Tuesday early afternoon, offering to send equipment and crews to help restore power and to provide blankets, beds, pillows and hygienic products.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Above all, St-Pierre said she called to voice&nbsp;Quebec's concern for&nbsp;Texans caught up in the disaster.</p> 
<p>"It was a conversation about how devastating the situation is and we want to express our support&nbsp;to the people of Texas," she said.</p> 
<p>St-Pierre told CBC that Pablos declined the aid for now, instead asking for "prayers from the people of Quebec."</p> 
<h2>Hydro-Québec crews ready to mobilize</h2> 
<p>St-Pierre also offered the help of Hydro-Québec crews, which are part of a mutual assistance group connecting electricity utilities in North America's Northeast region. The group also provides assistance in major events outside that&nbsp;territory.</p>

 <p class="figure-caption">International Relations Minister Christine St-Pierre offered Quebec's help to Texas in a phone conversation with Secretary of State Rolando Pablos Tuesday. (CBC)</p>
</div> 
<p>"Our crews are well-equipped and they have good knowledge of the grid so they can help to restore and rebuild the distribution lines," said Hydro-Québec spokesperson&nbsp;Louis-Olivier Batty.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Whether they get there by plane or make the 30-hour drive with utility vehicles depends on the need if it comes, Batty said, adding&nbsp;that Hydro-Québec's trucks "can do a lot of different work."</p> 
<p>St-Pierre said&nbsp;Hydro-Québec&nbsp;sent 250 technicians&nbsp;in the aftermath of&nbsp;Hurricane&nbsp;Katrina, which caused severe damage and more than 1,800 deaths in seven states in 2005.</p> 
<h2>Strong commercial&nbsp;ties with Texas</h2> 
<p>Batty said the last time Hydro-Québec crews&nbsp;received help was when strong winds caused about 300,000 power outages in the province in the summer of 2013.&nbsp;</p>

</ul> 
<p>At that time, crews from the northeastern United States&nbsp;and from New Brunswick pitched in to help Quebec. The province also received help from American crews during the 1998 Ice Storm.</p> 
<p>"They are our friends, this is what friendship means," St-Pierre said, adding that Quebec's ties with Texas are solidified by its trade relationship, and most notably the aerospace industry.</p> 
<p>"When you are friends, you call and you say, 'Do you need help?' and this is what it is."</p>
