Plateau mayor a no-show at council meetings

Plateau-Mont-Royal mayor Luc Ferrandez’s low attendance record in council meetings is threatening his party’s time in power in the borough.

In a report by CBC News, Ferrandez has not been present for council meetings in three months. The administration of Mayor Gerard Tremblay is threatening to call a by-election if he doesn’t show up at the next meeting on August 30th.

Marvin Rotrand who represent the Snowdon district said that he has never seen such a low number when it comes to attendance. He also claims that Ferrandez is hurting the citizens he represents when he’s not present.

This case is the latest in an ongoing war of words between the ruling Union Montreal and Ferrandez’s Projet Montreal which holds a majority in the Plateau.
