- The federal government has carried out dredging operations;
- The federal government cancelled the river protection program in 1997;
- The federal government, by its lack of action for more than 21 years, has abandoned its responsibility to maintain the riverbank protection works it put in place; and
- The extent of bank erosion along the St. Lawrence River, particularly in the Montreal—Lac Saint Pierre section, is an alarming and growing threat to the environment and the safety and well-being of citizens, as well as the integrity of their property.
