Cities will make recovery a priority in their regions, Legault promises

François Legault, at the end of the parliamentary session, promises to give more powers to all municipalities, allowing them to benefit from the right of first denial, a privilege currently enjoyed only by Montreal.

This is the minimum objective that the Prime Minister shared with the mayors who met at the 2022 meeting of the Union of Quebec Municipalities (UMQ).

This is one of the demands put forward by UMQ in the municipal declaration on housing issued last February, which aims to improve the availability of available housing.

In early March, Méganne Perry Mélancon, a member of Gaspé and a PQ spokesman for housing, announced his intention to introduce a bill to this effect.

Mr. Legalt, in a future decree, adopted legislation relating to embezzlement in order to minimize delays in the repurchase of a property by a municipality.

Regional Development

The subjects of density and urban expansion occupy an important part in the discussions between the 100 elected municipal officials.^And UMQ’s Annual Meeting is the first live edition of 2019.

Elected municipal officials are determined to file a new regional development policy.

“It simply came to our notice then. This is a priority for me, “said Tariq al-Hashimi, the party’s secretary general.

Arrows for the merchant

The mayor of CAQ, the mayor of Quebec, Bruno Marchand, took advantage of the annoying opportunity. Legalt was a fierce critic of recent comments by government ministers about density, which, according to them, would be a “fashion”..

“It was basically easy to work with you, Regis (Labeaume),” Mr. Started Legalt.

“We are going to develop an unconditional friendship. We make fun of Legalt. I assure you that we will try to strengthen our relationship.

He also stressed the importance of improving both mobility and public transport.

The Prime Minister mentioned on the 3rd the tunnel project between Quebec and Lewis^And Link, he says, will connect the network better with the South Coast.

“We have the right to build the second largest metropolis in Quebec,” he said. Legalt said.
