Mr. Speaker, in the September 15 edition of La Presse, we learned that the Minister of Environment issued a ministerial order regarding Montreal's port lands at Contrecoeur. Although I have no doubt that the minister's order addresses legitimate concerns, I would not want the government to use the chorus frog as an excuse to block the project.
We are talking about a $750-million investment and 15,000 jobs for families in the area.
I am looking for assurances. Does the government believe in the port of Montreal expansion project in Contrecoeur, yes or no?
