I've personally taken on the task of speaking on behalf of the community. Before coming here today, I received a message from the community. You have the letter from the mayor of Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, who was rather put out when she saw that Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines had been removed from Mirabel without any form of consultation or prior notice. So was the member of Quebec's provincial parliament.
You know, this county includesSainte-Anne-des-Plaines, another city called La Plaine, as well as Saint-Janvier, a large neighbourhood in Mirabel. The ties between these two municipalities resemble those between Rouyn and Noranda. People go back and forth every day between these two cities, whether for work, leisure or school.
I've taken on the role of reporting the community's grievances to you. In Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, it's more then a matter of consensus, and there is unanimity. All of the comments I received indicate that the commission made a poor decision.
