The Seine River - Ron Lemieux slips up

When I was visiting with Roland Chaput, Lawrence Lacoste and Richard Gregoire last Sunday, one of the issues that was brought up was concerns over illegal drainage.

In this area there is apparently a very considerable amount of illegal drainage occurring and it is contributing to the increased runoff and to the water problems and flooding which has occurred at Lake Riviera and along the Seine River.

The issue here that was brought up with me was a lack of provincial enforcement. Ron Lemieux is the local MLA and he has been ineffective in this matter. Indeed, Roland Chaput told me he has tried on numerous occasions to meet with Ron Lemieux and he eventually gave up. He would still like to meet with Ron Lemieux - so Ron if you read this blog - you might consider giving Roland Chaput a call and arrange to meet with him about the situation. Roland is after all, one of your constituents! Ron - you might also consider making sure that provincial laws on draining in this area are enforced. Your government lacks credibility on the environment because it is not doing its job on environmental issues along the Seine River.
