It is difficult to say whether our situation is unique in Canada. One thing is certain: we are really affected by the easement on our territory.
I insist on the fact that we are witnessing the devitalization of our sectors, because we are not able to develop in the white areas. I'm not talking about agricultural areas, but white areas within our urban perimeter. These zones are supposed to be developed in accordance with the Metropolitan Land Use and Development Plan for Greater Montreal.
Unfortunately, because of the problem we are discussing, we are not able to achieve our goals and we are experiencing, once again, the out-migration of our residents. They want to stay in Mirabel, where they were born. Unfortunately, due to the lack of available land, they have to leave.
