Mr. LAZAREWICZ: The insecurity stems from what happened on Friday: the intervention of an anonymous commando. We had to deal with a security issue regarding property and people. And right now, we don’t know how to handle it. We can only think about it.
Mr. SASSI: The bailiff came to the site without any prior notice. Given your concerns, I find this situation abnormal.
Mr. BONNET: You’re creating a sense of total insecurity.
Mr. BAUDRY: Regarding your refusal to allow visits, I propose that this be considered an act of obstruction.
The chairman conducts a vote; the act of obstruction is unanimously approved.
Is it possible to visit the machines and facilities?
Mr. LAZAREWICZ: It’s possible to view the machines. However, the real risk lies in the area below ground level.
Mr. SASSI: You bear full responsibility for whatever might happen down there. By acting this way, you make it impossible to reverse the flooding of that area.
Mr. LAZAREWICZ: Operations have ended, and HBCM has certain obligations to fulfill: ensuring the safety of the facilities, removing various pollutants, and maintaining proper functioning of the drainage system.
Mr. FILIPPI: Today, I inspected all the facilities. You’ve prohibited access to personnel from the laundry room, workshop, Mobility Services, and Training Services. You’re allowing subcontractors and some E.I.E. employees to work there. You’re making choices. How can you justify such selectivity today? This goes against labor laws. You’re obligated to provide work to your employees. Are all machines in working order? We want you to provide a summary of everything you’ve done so we can see if it matches what you’ve claimed.
Mr. LAZAREWICZ: Only Well Y has been inspected. Based on conditions and testimonies, we decided to shut down the machines. No further inspections have been conducted since then.
Mr. ZERBONE: Mr. BEAUDOIN says, “The safety issues related to Well Y’s machinery, cables, and attachments must be examined.” You don’t mention that inspections have already been carried out.
Mr. LAZAREWICZ: Mr. BEAUDOIN asked us to conduct thorough inspections once again.
