Protection des milieux naturels | Pluie de poursuites de promoteurs immobiliers contre Longueuil

Over thirty real estate developers are suing the city of Longueuil for disguised expropriation following the adoption of a natural environment protection plan aiming to increase protected areas. These developers seek compensation due to new Quebec regulations that do not offer reimbursement when rezoning prevents land development. The mayor supports the plan, citing recent legislative changes backing natural habitat preservation. The legal challenges also question the constitutional validity of these law changes, involving potential losses estimated in hundreds of millions.
