La nouvelle n’est plus tr\u00e8s fra\u00eeche, mais cela ne peut pas faire de tort que de le r\u00e9p\u00e9ter: le Plan m\u00e9tropolitain d’am\u00e9nagement et d\u00e9veloppement (PMAD) – le premier plan r\u00e9gional de l’histoire du Grand Montr\u00e9al – a finalement \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9 le 7 d\u00e9cembre dernier<\/a> par le Conseil de la Communaut\u00e9 m\u00e9tropolitaine de Montr\u00e9al (CMM).<\/p>\n

L’adoption du PMAD n’a surpris personne, puisque Montr\u00e9al, Longueuil et les municipalit\u00e9s de la couronne sud \u00e9taient en faveur du projet et que seuls les maires de la couronne nord \u00e9taient ouvertement contre<\/a> (le Plan devait \u00eatre approuv\u00e9 par les deux tiers des membres du Conseil de la CMM et Montr\u00e9al, Longueil et la Couronne sud comptent ensemble 21 des 28 si\u00e8ges). Ce qui est \u00e9tonnant, cela dit, c’est l’adoption du Plan \u00e0 la quasi-unanimit\u00e9 (tous ont finalement vot\u00e9 pour sauf Vaudreuil-Soulanges), et ce apr\u00e8s une campagne agressive de relations publiques des maires de la couronne nord pour faire d\u00e9railler le processus.<\/p>\n

Comment expliquer ce changement de position abrupt? \u00c0 vrai dire, personne \u00e0 qui j’ai parl\u00e9 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al ne le sait. Tous sont incr\u00e9dules. Le pr\u00e9fet de la MRC Ste-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se-de-Blainville, Paul Larocque, s’est confondu en explications dans les m\u00e9dias<\/a> (locaux, principalement) pour tenter d’expliquer son changement-de-fusil-d’\u00e9paule et son “enthousiasme mod\u00e9r\u00e9” pour le PMAD: selon lui, il y aurait eu des changements substantiels \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re minute qui auraient permis l’adh\u00e9sion des MRC de la couronne nord. Il fait r\u00e9f\u00e9rence, entre autres, \u00e0 l’assouplissement des r\u00e8gles pour la modification du p\u00e9rim\u00e8tre d’urbanisation (crit\u00e8re 1.6.2 de la version du Plan adopt\u00e9e le 7 d\u00e9cembre<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Mais dans les faits, le crit\u00e8re 1.6.2 du Plan tel qu’il a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9 n’est qu’une \u00e9laboration du crit\u00e8re 1.6.1 de la version “projet” du Plan<\/a> adopt\u00e9 en avril – le projet de PMAD pr\u00e9voyait d\u00e9j\u00e0 qu’on pouvait faire des modifications au p\u00e9rim\u00e8tre d’urbanisation. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, la version adopt\u00e9 est \u00e0 plusieurs \u00e9gards plus s\u00e9v\u00e8re que ne l’\u00e9tait le projet (mentionnons, entre autres, l’objectif ambitieux de prot\u00e9ger 17% du territoire de la CMM, soit la totalit\u00e9 des bois\u00e9s qui existent encore). Les explications de M. Larocque quant au changement subit d’attitude des maires de la couronne nord ne sont donc pas tr\u00e8s cr\u00e9dibles. En bon qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, ses excuses ne tiennent pas debout!<\/p>\n

Je me pose donc la question: y a-t-il r\u00e9ellement un consensus autour des objectifs du PMAD? O\u00f9 y a-t-il plut\u00f4t eu des jeux de coulisses, un pacte de non-agression ou encore un “deal” entre les maires r\u00e9calcitrants et les hautes instances du Gouvernement du Qu\u00e9bec concernant la mise en oeuvre du plan (c’est-\u00e0-dire, l’assurance que la mise en oeuvre du PMAD soit plut\u00f4t molle et non contraignante)?<\/p>\n

Je me pose la question non pas parce que j’affectionne les th\u00e9ories du complot, mais plut\u00f4t parce qu’un faux consensus autour d’un enjeu de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 important et controvers\u00e9 comme celui-l\u00e0 est une chose dangeureuse. S’il s’agit bel et bien d’un compromis “politique”, les tractations vont continuer, mais derri\u00e8re des portes closes. Et le d\u00e9bat de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 qui devrait normalement se poursuivre en public<\/em> n’aura pas lieu.<\/p>\n

Le PMAD a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9, oui, mais cela ne veut rien dire si le fameux document en reste \u00e0 l’\u00e9tat papier. Je veux bien donner le b\u00e9n\u00e9fice du doute \u00e0 M. Larocque et a ses coll\u00e8gues – mais le doute subsiste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
