That's a good question.
Although we have a good relationship with Parks Canada, which manages the locks in Saint‑Ours, two years ago, we got together with five other municipalities and sent the agency a letter asking it to delay opening the locks. Our request was rejected. Someone somewhere, in Dorval or Ottawa, decided to open them anyways. It was an absurd decision. Six municipalities were united in saying that, because the water level was so high, the opening of the locks needed to be delayed to reduce the wave impact on the shore. When the water level is too high, it affects parts of the shore that aren't usually under water. That's when you see landslides happening and residents being impacted.
