Bilateral meeting with Nadine Le Gal, Member of Parliament for Blainville, and Sylvain Pagé
On November 6, 2026, William Guindon held an in-depth bilateral working session with the new MP for the Blainville constituency in Assemblée nationale du Québec (National Assembly of Québec), Nadine Le Gal, and Sylvain Pagé. Showing a keen sense of listening to citizens, the MP held this exchange even before having opened her permanent constituency office.

The 5 major advances and established directions
Nadine Le Gal formally reaffirmed that the safeguarding of the Grande Tourbière de Blainville (Great Blainville Peat Bog) and the critical examination of Stablex landfill activities constitute the number one priority of her constituency mandate. The MP demonstrated rigorous listening to the 222 evidentiary documents placed in the public register.
At the heart of the regulatory and economic proposals, the delegation presented the establishment of a dissuasive eco-fee of $1,000 per tonne on the burial of industrial toxic waste. This measure aims to put an end to Blainville's status as a low-cost dump, discourage cross-border transfers and force decontamination at source.
The discussions made it possible to re-examine the democratic injustice of the Quebec Loi 93 (Bill 93), imposed under parliamentary gag order to force municipal expropriation against the unanimous verdict of report BAPE 371. The MP was also very critical of the federal government's posture at CCE (Commission for Environmental Cooperation), which refuses to respond on cadmium (320x the standard) to hide behind a procedural loophole.
The meeting resulted in specific operational steps: parliamentary initiatives planned in December 2026 in synchronization with the international deadline of the CCE, the establishment of an Advisory Council / permanent monitoring committee in January 2027, and the upcoming convening of an expanded bilateral working session.
The MP praised the autonomy and rigor of the rising citizen generation and confirmed her wish to involve youth in the future challenges of the riding. The presence at the table of Édith Mora Castelan, citizen expert and field watchdog in residual materials management, helped deepen environmental compliance imperatives and rigorous protection for the peatland watershed.
