I'm going to repeat a bit of what I said earlier. The contamination example is a prime example of what not to replicate. What happened in 2000 must not happen again. How can we avoid this kind of situation? I think the answer is to work together, each within our own areas of responsibility.
I understand that national defence has security imperatives that go beyond the concerns of a city like mine, and I fully respect that. What I'm saying is that, where we have shared concerns, particularly with respect to housing and the 1,100 units that are going to be built, we need to find simple and flexible ways to work together. I'm also thinking of spaces for our children in our schools, whether they are children of military personnel or of the residents of Shannon. They are all citizens of the same community. We share the same territory.
Earlier, I mentioned that the base commander changes every two years. The commanders are extremely kind, and I work well with them, but they're only there temporarily. So I can understand that they have other concerns.
Stability therefore has to come from other communication tools, such as consultation tables. I don't have any names, but I do have many ideas.
