Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend the hon. member for Châteauguay—Saint-Constant for this bill.
The people in my riding, which is located in a rural area, also share this concern. There are many mountains and the scenery is extraordinary.
For the past several years, we have seen an increasing number of towers being set up. Everywhere we look we see one, two, three or even four towers. The situation is out of hand. We want to harmonize things.
We are calling on the Conservative government to harmonize the laws and consult with the public. However, it seems that this is sometimes difficult. People's quality of life is at stake. In rural areas, we have an exceptional quality of life. People all across Canada are proud of the landscape and mountains that make up our countryside. These days, we look and see one, two, three or even four towers. It has gotten out of hand, and some proponents are even trying to bend the rules.
My question is for the hon. member for Châteauguay—Saint-Constant. Why is this bill so important?
