Mr. Speaker, the minister does not seem to understand, so we will explain what does not work.
The mayor of Saint-Siméon, in Charlevoix, wrote to the Prime Minister. He spoke about “a serious threat to the survival of our small rural communities”, communities that depend on seasonal industries. How did the minister respond to this mayor, who is afraid that 40% of his residents will move out of the region? With indifference.
Will the minister finally listen to reason and reconsider, or is she washing her hands of the matter to the detriment of our regions?
