Fabre riding is inundated with resentment against Parti qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois<\/i> pressure to phase in flood zone measures precipitously in Laval. <\/p>\n

Residents saw the value of their homes drop instantly by as much as 30 percent, after the province strong-armed Laval into imposing new flood-zone restrictions on homeowners. <\/p>\n

As The Suburban<\/i> went to press, the Western Laval citizens committee (CCLO) was slated to hold its second meeting this month on the issue, March 24. <\/p>\n

\u201cBack in November, we suggested to Nicole L\u00e9ger, the minister responsible for Laval, that we shouldn\u2019t have to wait for experts to complete a research study for residents to find out who will be affected by this new regulation,\u201d Gilles Ouimet told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cShe should have told them back in November and started to discuss possible solutions,\u201d the Quebec Liberal Party MNA, who is campaigning for reelection in Fabre riding, said in an interview. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe ought to have convened everyone around the table,\u201d he added, \u201cthe Environment Ministry, the mayor, councillors and CCLO members to represent the citizens who are affected, and embarked on a transparent, open and fair process of solving the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, the Parti qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois<\/i> government is saying that it wants to wait until an expert report is published in June, before it will entertain potential solutions,\u201d Ouimet continued. \u201cThat has left everyone in the dark, and no one knows what ultimately will happen.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s an unacceptable way to treat citizens,\u201d he asserted, \u201cso we\u2019re developing a close relationship with CCLO that will permit us to work effectively with them, once we\u2019re elected to form the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ouimet was cautiously optimistic about the inroads that the Quebec Liberal Party has made in Laval since the start of the provincial election campaign two weeks ago. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel that the wind is blowing in the right direction,\u201d he said. \u201cWe see it on the ground. We get a completely different reception when we go door-to-door this time \u2018round, compared to the last election.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to keep working, of course,\u201d he concluded, \u201cbut it\u2019s a very positive sign.\u201d
