Madam Speaker, in Montreal, people ride their bikes in both summer and winter, at least when the federal government does not get in the way.
The city is offering to clear the snow from the bike path on the south side of the Lachine Canal at its own expense, but Ottawa is refusing. Parks Canada does not have to do anything, but even that is too much to ask. On November 11, the Sud-Ouest borough passed a unanimous resolution calling on Parks Canada to authorize snow removal. I have also been in touch with the Minister of Environment about that. Will the minister ask Parks Canada to get out of the way?
