A group battling the development of Mount Orford provincial park is rejecting the latest plan put forward for the green space.

No amount of privatization is acceptable, SOS Parc Orford said Friday, even if local political leaders have endorsed a compromise plan.

A regional council of mayors approved a modified blueprint for the park on Tuesday that earmarks a small parcel of land for hotel and condominium development, while the rest of the acreage would remain in public hands.

The amended plan amounts to cosmetic changes, argued Gisele Lacasse-Benoit, a spokeswoman for the coalition. 

"This proposal does not go far enough, because they tolerate or accept the idea of residential construction at the bottom of the hill," said Lacasse-Benoit on Friday.

The Quebec Liberal government has endorsed the mayors' plan and will move quickly to implement it, said Premier Jean Charest, who conceded the plan may not please everybody.

"I don't expect unanimity. It's very typical of a number of issues. You'll never get unanimity," Charest said.

The coalition warned it may go ahead with legal action against the Quebec government if the mayors' plan isn't changed significantly.

"The [provincial] law of the parks has been broken," Lacasse-Benoit said. "They've done it for this park. And will they do it for other parks? We don't know."

If legal action fails, the coalition will do everything it can to make Mont Orford an election issue if Charest seeks a second term, vowed Lacasse-Benoit.
