Overview
Later in Mr. [Stephen McDougall]'s article it is written: \"[Guy- Lin Beaudoin] said if the changes were not made by July 1, the OLF would fine the town $5,000 for each infraction\". This is far from the truth. I never stated that the OLF will fine the town $5,000 if we do not respect the July 1 deadline. In fact, I did not speak about fines, nor did I pretend that the OLF threatened us with such fines. The topic of fines arose when Councillor Gifford asked the mayor to ignore the OLF requests. Mayor Martel rightfully answered the town would comply with the requests, because the fines can be very high, and the town cannot afford to challenge the OLF in court. As for the deadline of July 1, it is a date that has been proposed by the Town of Richmond to the OLF, and not a date stipulated in any communication received by the Town of Richmond from the OLF. I have been very clear about this point in the interviews I gave to the Quebec media. As was clearly explained to your journalist, all the modifications proposed by the OLF were neither complex nor were they complicated. Therefore the changes could be implemented in a fast and efficient manner, even though we would have preferred to continue to act as a bilingual municipality.
