Faced with recycling failures, the official opposition in Montreal is asking for a “game plan” to improve the performance of sorting centers in the city.
“It is time for the Plante administration to be accountable for its management and to prove that the environment is not just a slogan for its party,” declared Aref Salem, leader of Ensemble Montreal.
The release follows the publication of a report by Radio-Canada’s Enquête program, which revealed that Canadian companies were exporting to poor countries paper whose contamination exceeded the standards.
“Since 2018, nearly $35 million in public funds have been disbursed by the City of Montreal in a company that went bankrupt and in a new dysfunctional sorting center, with contaminated bales sent to India”, was scandalized. Mr Salem.
His party will ask, at the next city council, for a plenary session to be held by the Environment Department, as well as the unveiling of the reports sent monthly by the recycling company Ricova.
