Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Industry.
Last year Rogers Telecom applied to build a massive cell tower in a residential neighbourhood right in the middle of the city of Charlottetown. The neighbours did not want it. The people who lived in Charlottetown did not want it. Our democratically elected city council voted against it.
The Minister of Industry, since the tower was not in his neighbourhood, overruled the decision of the city council and ordered the construction of the tower to proceed.
My question is very simple. Why did he disrespect the wishes of the residents of Charlottetown and the decision of their elected council?
