’’We will not go to Brossard to make a 30-minute trip following another 30 minutes to go somewhere in Montreal,’’ declared Pierre-Paul Routhier at a breakfast with businesspeople at the Chic Chantier restaurant in the Chateauguay Industrial Park on October 17.

‘’The majority of our workers work in the west,’’ he said. ‘’When you take the Mercier Bridge in the morning, when you look at the exit, there are not a lot of people who go towards Montreal. This is because there is already a very good public transport service to Montreal. The majority goes to the west. There is an enormous amount of people who work in Ville St. Laurent, Dorval and in other places like that,’’ he explained.
