Diabo, Legault virtual meeting

An initial virtual meeting took place between Ohenton Í:rate ne Ratsisahiens Cody Diabo and Quebec’s Premier, Francois Legault. They focused on the development of an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) aimed at establishing clear guidelines for the working relationship between the community and the Quebec government. Legault opened with the promise to return 211 acres of land from Highway 30:

“I said, that’s perfect, I don’t have any Christmas presents yet so, that would be a good Christmas present at the end of the day! There’s been a lot of work on the return of the 211 acres, I had reported in the Ratsisahiens report. We are working, there is potential parcel not too far from here, but we’re still waiting on, we need to make sure the conditions of the land, access to it and things like that. We’re not rushing that for the sake of getting land but ensuring that there is a proper plan in place.”

The purpose is to enhance the delivery of services, foster economic development and strengthen the social fabric between the two parties.
