The site is identified in our urban plan, our regional plan, as residential. We&rsquo;re in discussions with the government of Quebec over the transfer of the land and I&rsquo;m confident that will happen in timely fashion,\u00a0\u00bb said Copeman.<\/p>\n<p>He said it will still be possible for construction to begin in 2017 and be completed by 2025.<\/p>\n<p><b><a title=\"CTV News - Blue Bonnets residential development has stalled\" href=\"http:\/\/montreal.ctvnews.ca\/blue-bonnets-residential-development-has-stalled-1.2042769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch video on the CTV website<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6910 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-ctv-blue-bonnets2.jpg\" alt=\"2014-1007 ctv blue bonnets\" width=\"656\" height=\"651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-ctv-blue-bonnets2.jpg 656w, https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-ctv-blue-bonnets2-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-ctv-blue-bonnets2-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-ctv-blue-bonnets2-600x595.jpg 600w, https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-ctv-blue-bonnets2-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-ctv-blue-bonnets2-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-ctv-blue-bonnets2-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-ctv-blue-bonnets2-450x446.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/2014-1007-montreal-ctvnews-ca.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CTV News &#8211; October 7, 2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6910,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[281,59],"tags":[249,295],"class_list":["post-6915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dans-les-medias","category-nouvelles","tag-logements-sociaux-sur-blue-bonnets","tag-nouveaux-logements-sociaux"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-11 02:33:34","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6915"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16967,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6915\/revisions\/16967"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
