VIVA MÉDIA received a copy of the loan document from the FADQ through journalist Thomas Gerbert of Radio-Canada. In this document, which is public, it is stipulated that the creditor grants an amount of $ 840,000 to Fermes Jules-Édouard with an additional potential loan of $ 160,000.
In total, $ 1 million was loaned to owner Pierre-Olivier Limoges to buy the $ 1.1 million property in Sainte-Marthe.
The FADQ document specifies that if the debtor contravenes the law and regulations, the financial can request an immediate and complete reimbursement of the mortgage.
The owner defends himself
Pierre-Olivier Limoges indicates via press release, published last week, that he aims to cultivate the land he has deforested in order to grow vines and hay.
He also alleges that the municipality never informed him of the change in the tree cutting by-law and that it had previously accepted the deforestation of his land.
“In good faith, we therefore began cutting and development work last December, and continued them all winter, in complete transparency with the municipality,” said Mr. Limoges.
It is important to remember that Pierre-Olivier Limoges is awaiting a judgment on the cut of 20 hectares that he has made on his land for a few months.
Citizen reaction
The sharing of the Radio-Canada article on the Citizen of Sainte-Marthe page generated discussions between the members of the group.
Some citizens, like Micheline Lalonde, are sorry about the situation.
“Is it whose money the government is spending,” asks Ms. Lalonde? It’s the money of me, of you. It is all the people of the province of Quebec. Hey! Yes this morning I learn that I invested my money in a disaster like this. Ah! It’s questioning. I feel sad to have collaborated in this disaster. “
For his part, Eric Trottier wonders about the version of the municipality and will await the decision of the courts.
“Have you read the article,” wonders Mr. Trottier? He has emails from the Municipality approving his “no permit” project. If he is telling the truth, and he really started the cup in mid-December, he will win and activate the Municipality. Instead of continuing to basher sir, try to get answers from your elected officials. And let justice do its job. “
