Over the course of a debate hosted by the Conseil régional de l’environnement (CRE), in a UQÀM hall filled to capacity and punctuated by repeated bursts of applause, Richard Bergeron proved himself the leader of the only municipal political party with a real sustainable development program for Montreal.
