Mr. Speaker, along with all cycling enthusiasts, I am extremely pleased that the bicycle path between Nuns' Island and Verdun will be built very shortly.
Cyclists have been waiting 15 years for this path to be completed.
I want to thank the Minister, Mr. Doug Young, and his department for the consideration they have given to this project.
The proposed bicycle path will link the paths on the South Shore and on Nuns' Island to the path in Verdun.
The City of Verdun has agreed to build a segment connecting these paths to those along the Lachine Canal. Therefore, all of the major bikeways on Montreal Island will be linked.
Over 20,000 cyclists will thus be able to enjoy some wonderful outings thanks to this initiative on the part of the Government of Canada and the municipality of Verdun.
Co-operation always accomplishes more than confrontation.
