For what I've known up to date (June 21-2006 ) it is like a square dance between the Comité de Sauvegarde, Québec government, the Diocèse and the City of Lachute. Following informations from an expert survey paid by the Comité, it is false to say that this bldg. required 1$MIO. At the worst case, it will cost around 200,000$ and quiet contrary to what has been said...the bldg. is not dangerous at all.. The problem lies in the fact that Diocèse de St-Jérome does not decide anything about the church (sale, rent or whatever). One of the most warrior person against the demolition, Mr. E. Champagne, is almost hated by the diocèse...and the bridges are cutted for now...while the wonderfull bldg. continue its long destruction ! Even a Commission parlementaire with Québec govt. brings no changes. |
