TOGETHER FOR RIGOROUS MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT

Our economic situation is enviable, but we must remain vigilant. Therefore, we must tighten our spending to prioritize what is essential: the protection of our woodlands, the recovery from the pandemic, the construction of the sports complex, the health and safety of the population, support for local organizations, the repair of streets in poor condition and the climate emergency. 
 

Our engagements
 

Taxation  
We will align the tax rate with the inflation rate and allow payments to be spread over 11 months without interest.

Spending and debt controls
We will allocate surpluses equally to debt repayment, the Woodlands Protection Trust, and the Climate Action Plan.
 

We will reduce our three-year capital plan (TCP) commitments, which have increased by 255% over the past two years.
 

Here is the city's total investment and borrowing in the ITP (2017 to 2021):
2017 = 41 710 000 $
2018 = 52 080 000 $
2019 = 124 235 000 $
2020 = 115 166 000 $
2021 = 132 998 000 $
 

Agglomeration of Longueuil Services
We will continue our representations to make the most of the $30M (i.e., 43% of our operating budget) that we transfer to the Agglomeration of Longueuil for services under their jurisdiction (police and firefighters, drinking water supply, public transit services, evaluation, and land use planning).
