I agree with you.
I was mayor for a few years and when a zoning change was planned, everyone concerned by the change received a public notice. If a railway track had to pass through the middle of the town, the owners concerned received a public notice. I don't know if, in the other provinces, a letter is sent in similar cases. I didn't understand earlier why you said that the people didn't know. I would like you to explain that to me again.
