Ensemble Montréal set up eight permanent commissions dealing with issues related to youth, inclusion, and seniors.
“If a citizen has an idea to improve Montreal, we want him/her to have the capacity to knock on our door and realize that he can concretize this idea with the help of our elected officials. The more of us that get involved in the future of our metropolis, the better off the city will be” interim party leader Aref Salem stated in the release. “I know how intimidating it can be to step into the political world, especially when we’ve never dipped our toes in the prior arena. I invite Montrealers to overcome this fear.”
The party will launch its local committees and associations in the coming weeks.
