Mr. Speaker, we learned that the Federal Bridge Corporation signed a contract with Mediacom to allow that company to put up 60 billboards on federal land in the Montreal region, thus contravening municipal bylaws and the Quebec moratorium on such billboards that has been in effect for five years.
Will the minister confirm that the Federal Bridge Corporation is about to disregard Quebec and Montreal laws and regulations by authorizing Mediacom to put up 60 billboards in the Montreal region, in exchange for an amount of $40 million to be paid over a 15 year period?
