He also highlighted the need for financial support for municipalities from the province. “It is certain that there are grants that we would like to remain in place so as not to do more harm financially,” he said. “A lot of money has been spent in the big cities and I don’t think it’s very fair.

La Compagnie d’édition André Paquette (EAP) gathered reactions from the mayors of the formerly red riding of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, after its election of Progressive Conservative MPP Amanda Simard. Glengarry-Prescott-Russell has not elected anyone but a Liberal MPP since the creation of the riding in 1996. The district turned blue after electing PC candidate Amanda Simard in last week’s provincial elections. “It is a good thing that the counties went blue with the province because it will be more favorable for us and we will have better representation in Toronto by having Amanda Simard there,” commented Cla- rence-Rockland Mayor Guy Desjardins. “But, JUBMMSFNBJOTUPCFTFFO8FIBWFTFWFSBM RVFTUJPOTXFOFFEBOTXFSTUP8FEPOU know who the new ministers will be and we don’t know Mr. Ford’s intentions.” Most local mayors have commented that they are looking forward to meeting with Simard to discuss several issues.

Desjardins has already requested a mee- ting with the new MPP. He is still awaiting a response. Mayor Fernand Dicaire, of Alfred-Plan- tagenet, emphasized that his main priority in office is securing the future of the franco- phone Collège d’Alfred. “I hope that Amanda will represent us well because it is imperative that francophones stand our ground and, as per usual, we must fight to keep our place,” he commented.
