Provincial government could slash budgets by more than half<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

As the provincial government looks at ways to trim Quebec\u2019s monumental debt and deficit, Minister of Municipal Affairs Pierre Moreau recently announced that the CLD system (Centre de d\u00e9velopment \u00e9conomique)<\/i> could lose 55 per cent of their budgets or be outright abolished and its responsibilities absorbed by area municipalities. <\/p>\n

The Suburban<\/i> spoke to Nicolas Roy, executive director of West Island CLD about the agency\u2019s future in expectation of Moreau\u2019s decision expected to be delivered shortly. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to wait for Mr. Moreau to meet with Premier Philippe Couillard in order to find out about the fine print of the coming changes,\u201d Roy said. <\/p>\n

The current CLD system of using local business practice of reaching out to volunteers to gauge the feasibility of proposals is a model that has worked well for the West Island CLD; a system Roy wonders if municipalities can replicate should they be abolished and absorbed. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur current formula has the input of local mayors, representatives from community groups, business leaders, a great mix of volunteers who offer us their expertise,\u201d said Roy. \u201cThis kind of formula will not work as municipalities and businesses are not part of the same culture or environment.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Vaudreuil-Soulanges MRC (Municipalit\u00e9 r\u00e9gionale de comt\u00e9)<\/i> reacted to the government\u2019s news and potential cuts by releasing a press release noting that CLDs \u201cremain the best tool to favourize economic development in the regions.\u201d <\/p>\n

The agency is also seeking that should the government abolish CLDs then the regional body should be given the tools to create another economic entity in the same style as the CLD.
