“There are many Quebecers who will refuse to pay to travel within their own province. This goes against the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

It restricts the freedom of movement of all Madelinots. It’s certain that people will organize against the municipality, that doesn’t make sense,” he said in French.
