Mr. Speaker, I will simply make an announcement. On May 23, Canadian Pacific Ltd. filed a request with the National Transportation Agency to abandon the Saint-Augustin-Mirabel-Thurso line.
The hon. member for Blainville-Deux-Montagnes, André Riendeau from the riding of Argenteuil, Paul-André David from the riding of Papineau, and myself, have prepared a submission. This document was presented to the National Transportation Agency of July 27, 1994. We requested public hearings and a five-year moratorium.
This is a rare occasion! We got the public hearing we requested, which will be held on November 22. Thank you.
