THE COMMISSION INVITES CITIZENS TO VOICE
THEIR OPINIONS ON JUNE 27
Québec,
June 13, 2007 –
The commission of the Bureau d’audiences publiques
sur l’environnement (BAPE), made up of Mr. Pierre
André, chair, and Mr. Jean-Claude Panisset,
commissioner, will be holding the second part of the
public hearing on the Project to improve the
road network in Vaudreuil-Dorion starting
at 7:00 p.m. on June 27 at Salle Très-Sainte-Trinité
(church basement) located at 145, avenue Saint-Charles
in Vaudreuil-Dorion.
This part will be devoted exclusively
to hearing the briefs and verbal opinions of individuals,
municipalities, organizations and groups wishing to
express their opinion to the commission.
WRITING A BRIEF
A brief is a document that presents
opinions or concerns on a specific subject. It allows
the author to develop and state the arguments in support
of this opinion.
As a general rule, a brief contains
the following elements: a short presentation of the
individual, the group, the organization or the municipality
tabling the brief, a brief explanation of the interest
that the author has in the project, opinions on the
project as a whole, concerns related to the project
and, as the case may be, any suggestions and comments
likely to improve it. Those individuals who do not
wish to write a brief can express their opinion verbally
at the public hearing. A verbal presentation may be
developed in the same way as a brief.
Advice is provided, for reference
purposes only, in the form of questions in the document
entitled Writing a Brief. This document is
available upon request, as well as in electronic format
on the BAPE website at www.bape.gouv.qc.ca,
under the heading “Comment participer”
of this mandate.
