Mr. Speaker, the entire south shore of Montreal is being held hostage by the rail blockades.
In my riding, two stations on the commuter rail line that links Mont-Saint-Hilaire to Montreal, namely the Saint-Basile-le-Grand and Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville stations, are closed until further notice. For many of my constituents, just getting to and from work is a real challenge.
Two weeks into the crisis, the blockades have not been removed, and their number is growing.
Is the government going to wait until all rail lines around Montreal are closed before it takes action?
