E-petition
Initiated by Daniel Pinsonneault from Coteau-du-lac, Quebec

Original language of petition: French

Petition to the Minister of Transport

Whereas:
  • Since February 2020, the needs of the land and marine users of draw bridges 9 and 10 have been clearly expressed to the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC);
  • The Maisonneuve Region bridge status page on the SLSMC website is outdated and does not provide users with real-time information on the operations of draw bridges 9 and 10;
  • A source of real-time information would allow emergency services to choose which of the two draw bridges to use in order to quickly access the scene of an accident or a hospital;
  • The lack of reliable information on the operations of draw bridges 9 and 10, marine incidents and equipment failures causes serious inconvenience to all users and has a significant economic impact on the quality of services for businesses throughout the region; and
  • Land and sea transportation is crucial to the economic development of the municipalities in the riding of Salaberry-Suroît and in Quebec.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Minister of Transport to:
1. Require the SLSMC’s Maisonneuve Region bridge status website to be modernized for the 2021 season so that users can plan their trips in real time; and
2. Require the modernization of the section of its website that allows users to file complaints and submit requests for information.
