 In 2006, Mulcair opposed a proposed condominium development in the mountain and ski resort of Mont Orford National Park.During a February 27, 2006 Cabinet shuffle, Charest removed Mulcair from his position as Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment, and Parks, and offered him the lesser cabinet position of Minister of Government Services.His opposition to the Government's development plans fuelled speculation that this was a punishment, which led Mulcair to resign from cabinet rather than accept the apparent demotion.
