Deux-MONTAGNES | Quebec provides assistance to 35 $ 600 to a family of victims of the Laurentians, while it will cost 149 000 $ to rebuild her home. The assessment carried out by the government is filled with errors, found The Log.

In the month of June, an evaluator mandated by the provincial government is spent in Katherine-Elizabeth and Patrick Larivière. The house where they live with their two children in deux-Montagnes, has been flooded in the spring.

Quebec is based on this report and to compensate the victims so they can rebuild their residence.

However, the report is filled with errors, so that Quebec can offer only 35 $ 600 in torque so that a submission assesses rather work to $ 149,000. However, the government was committed to pay 90% of the rebuilding costs.

Patrick Larivière has quickly identified the many anomalies that partially explain this assessment to the downside.

“On the report, the government calculates that only 18 linear feet of moldings [at bottom of walls]. It takes 200 linear feet. This is only one of many examples that play on the offer of the government. The amount offered does not make any sense, ” explains Ms. Larivière.

At home with his parents

Seven months after the floods, members of the family Larivière still live in Montreal with the parents of the father. They do not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

“I go regularly to Montreal to go and take my daughter to daycare in deux-Montagnes and then return to work in the city centre of Montreal,” says Katherine-Elizabeth Larivière.

The couple still had a mortgage of $ 150,000 that he must continue paying, even if his house is uninhabitable. He had just borrow $ 75,000, and work when the disaster struck.

Ms. Larivière believes that if they had decided to abandon the house and move elsewhere rather than rebuild, they would not have had all these problems.

“Our next-door neighbor received $ 200,000. It is moved to another area, in another house. We made the blunder of trying to rebuild, ” she said.

Faults declared

The department of public Safety has recognized that the evaluation report contained several errors. Katherine-Elizabeth and Patrick Larivière had no more news from Quebec since more than a month.

However, the government contacted them Tuesday after the call the Newspaper to tell them that a new report would be produced soon

Louise Quintin, public relations at the Ministry, says it will do checks in this folder.
