Jean-Denis Garon Bloc Québécois
“Farmers from Mirabel protested on Parliament Hill today because they oppose the high-speed train project. They do not want the government to take their land. The minister should meet with them and answer their questions.”
“Mr. Speaker, hundreds of farmers from Mirabel braved the rain today on Parliament Hill. They came to tell the Liberals that they are not happy with Alto’s high‑speed train project in its current form. It is too bad that the minister did not come out to meet with them. He could have answered all the questions that Alto has been refusing to answer since January. If the Liberals think they are going to be able to forcibly expropriate land in Mirabel yet again, our farmers proved today that they have another think coming. Will the government finally respect our farmers, meet with them and answer their questions?”
