Continued from page 21 On the morning of Wednesday, November 30, it was announced at the National Assembly that Québec Education Minister Sébastien Proulx has appointed an auditor to look into management of both the LBPSB and the EMSB, citing irregularities in education issues and certification of students. Minister Proulx also confirmed the Unité permanente anticorruption (UPAC) is investigating. Soon after stating she committed no wrongdoing, legally or morally, Stein Day said, moving forward, she hopes to learn from her mistakes but will not step down, and fully intends to fulfill her mandate.

were sought in the December 1 double slaying that occurred on Montée Alstonvale in Vaudreuil-Dorion appeared before Judge Serge Boisvert in the Valleyfield Courthouse December 6 and were each charged with two counts of first degree murder and murder using a prohibited firearm. Les Cèdres resident Richard Hunt, 38, and 28-year-old Mélanie Binette of Coteau-du-Lac are accused in the shooting deaths of 45-year-old Joseph Fluet and 38-year-old Steven Lamarsh. The maximum sentence for first degree murder is life in prison. Sûreté du Québec (SQ) officers made the arrests the evening of December 3 in Vaudreuil-Dorion and in St. Lazare. Police responded to a call of a man in critical condition last Thursday just before 1 p.m. found in a wooded area just below the corner of Moffat Street. He was transported to hospital where
he was pronounced dead. A second man was found later in the afternoon, also critically injured from gunshot wounds. He too was pronounced dead in hospital. Though various media reports said Fluet had criminal ties to the Rock Machine motorcycle gang, police will not verify this, other than to say he was “part of a biker gang.”

Beaumier and Pierre Larin of Profusion Reality Inc. in Westmount. The land in question is the 18-hole Falcon Golf Club, a public course designed by top-ranked golf course architects Graham Cooke & Associates that opened in 2001 and which, since 2008 and according to the Club’s website, has been owned by Hudson entrepreneur, Lou Lapointe, who has made a successful career of turning businesses into thriving and successful enterprises. Said a spokesperson for the club, who asked to remain anonymous, “It is no secret that many golf courses throughout Canada and the United States are facing difficulties right now for many reasons. And for the past few years, there have been rumours that the Falcon was up for sale or had been sold. “Mr. Lapointe has never officially put it up for sale and he is not aggressively doing so now. He is just exploring ideas and options and redevelopment of the land, or part of it, is one of those ideas.”
