During the previous mandate, the CAQ government provided funding to the City of Montreal for the decontamination of land in Montreal’s East End. The City of Montreal manages the grant program. Private decontamination companies have shown little interest in submitting projects in the past three years. During the 2022 election campaign, the CAQ pledged to move forward on this important issue for the development of East End Montreal. In April 2023, the City of Montreal changed its rules for accessing subsidies. It remains to be seen whether more land will be decontaminated in the East and what the CAQ government, in collaboration with the City of Montreal, will do to achieve the decontamination objectives during the CAQ’s current mandate.
