The current mayor of Boisbriand, Marlene Cordato

The Mayor explained

For his part, Mayor Cordato defends his decision. "I do not trust their trial for the things they have been in recent years," she justifies.

Marlene Cordato advisers criticized the opposition for having voted at the time in favor of expanding the treatment plant and public works contracts in the sectors and Turrets Large Cote Sud Boisbriand.

These projects are at the heart of an investigation of Operation Hammer who played themselves out in February with the arrest, including the former Mayor Sylvie St-Jean.

Counsel for the opposition believe that the mayor makes them guilty by association. "She said that the trust is broken," said Mario Lavallee. It alludes to the fact that we were there from 2005 to 2009 and there were accusations at the end of the investigation Hammer. But I remind you that there is still no trial. "

Innuendo?

He said it is gratuitous insinuations. "It should stop, he quips. It has no purpose. I have nothing to reproach myself. The people there have done nothing wrong. "

"Investigators are coming here," said Lyne Levert. They checked our bank accounts. They checked everything and we have no business there. If so, it would have been arrested. "

The four advisers say the opposition is even willing to sit free on the committees of the City to find their place.

Marlene Cordado but does not reverse its decision before the end of the trial of former Mayor St. Jean.

"I did not realize not guilty association, provides the current mayor. What I advocate is the trial that they wore and that's what I question. Let me revise my decision when we have the trial judge that. "
