&/#3&'r#3*&'4 NOUVEAU VÉHICULE DE SECOURS L’administration du canton de Cham- plain a présenté au conseil, lors de la réunion du comité plénier du 4 juin, un rapport sur l’état du véhicule de secours du Service des incendies du canton. Le véhicule est pratiquement en fin de vie et le budget de 2019 prévoyait des fonds pour l’achat d’un nouveau véhicule de secours. Un appel d’offres a conduit à quatre soumissions, la plus basse étant d’environ 264 000 $. – Gregg Chamberlain NAVIGATION SÉCURITAIRE La PPO de Hawkesbury rappelle aux résidents de rester prudents durant cette saison de navigation. Il est important de vérifier l’état du bateau avant de partir sur l’eau, ainsi que les conditions météorologiques. Une veste de sauvetage certifiée pour chaque personne à bord est exigée par la loi. Les agents rappellent aux résidents que l’alcool est tout aussi dangereux au volant d’un véhicule qu’aux commandes d’un bateau.

GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca PIERRE LEMIEUX ON RE-ELECTION QUEST has not dropped yet, though all three can- didates for the major parties have launched their election campaigns. Lemieux noted that his overall impression, as he goes door- knocking around the riding, is a growing skepticism about the federal government JOUIFXBLFPGUIF4/$-BWBMJODPOUSPWFSTZ «People feel that they have been misled and deceived by Justin Trudeau,» he said. «It is building cynicism and skepticism, and erodes confidence and trust.»
Pierre Lemieux doesn’t want voters to think his Tories are anything like the ones down in Queen’s Park. “We have nothing to do with Doug Ford,” said Lemieux, adding that the goal of the federal Conservative party is “responsible government spending” and recognizing that a balanced federal budget may not be possible within a four-year term. During a June 2 interview at a local coffee shop Lemieux continued to distance himself and the federal Conservatives from Premier Ford’s Progressive Conservative government. He dismissed any suggestion that some voters may wonder if an Andrew Scheer federal Conservative government would act the same way as the Ford PC provincial government, with a focus on cost-cutting at the expense of social programs. Lemieux wants to restore Glengarry- Prescott-Russell to the federal Conservative fold in October but he also has one other personal goal as he campaigns across the riding. «I want to restore people’s trust and confidence in their MPs,» he said. «I feel Canadians want to have confidence (in government) but it’s challenging. I want to serve the people, and do it in such a way to restore trust in our elected officials, in Parliament, and in our political system.» The official writ for the October election
Lemieux cited as an example of «lost confidence» in the riding the results of ne- gotiations between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico for a new free-trade deal to replace UIF/PSUI"NFSJDBO'SFF5SBEF"HSFFNFOU /"'5" 5IFOFX$BOBEB64.FYJDP"HSFF - ment (CUSMA or USMCA), which still needs ratification by all three governments, allows some relaxing of Canada’s supply manage- ment safeguards against imports of some American milk products. j5IF64.$"JTBXFBLFSEFBMUIBO/"' - TA,» said Lemieux. «Yet supply management farmers were sacrificed for a weaker deal.» Lemieux declared his opposition to the current federal carbon tax to help pay the cost for environmental protection and cleanup programs. His main criticism is that 92 per cent of the new tax revenue will come from Canadian citizens and small businesses, while many major corporations are exempt from paying. «I am going to be working very hard (if elected) to repeal the carbon tax,» he said. «An advantage I have is that people re- member me,» Lemieux said, regarding his campaign strengths. «They have a good and positive recollection of me as an MP”

Il fait campagne pour que les Conservateurs retrouvent leur circonscription lors des élections fédérales en octobre prochain. L’un de ses objectifs personnels est de rétablir la confiance des électeurs locaux dans le gouvernement fédéral et le système politique du Canada. —photo Gregg Chamberlain
