Warden Jane Toller responds to the statements of Mayor Serge Newberry
The MRC Pontiac‘s Warden, Jane Toller, refuted the words of the mayor of l’Ile-du-Grand-Calumet, Serge Newberry, who stated that some members who lead the MRC Pontiac’s multi-resource committee benefit from their position.
In particular, she said she was “worried” about this statement, which she says does not apply to the multi-resource committee, and may “mislead the public”.
At the most recent municipal council meeting, the mayor of l’Ile-du-Grand-Calumet, Serge Newberry, stated that some of the members who head the MRC Pontiac’s multi-resource committee are taking advantage of their position. “They’re leading the multi-resource committee and they’re the ones who are benefiting,” said Newberry, when asked to explain on his properties near the outlined location of the proposed national park project in the Iles Lafontaine area, a situation which the Council of Mayors of the MRC Pontiac have described as “perceived conflict of interest.’’
