At their regular council meeting on November 5, the City of Laval decided to postpone assigned road, sewage or aquaduct public work contracts until after the province passes its anti-corruption bill.
The announcement was made by Basile Angelopolous, the vice-president of the city’s executive committee during the city’s regular council meeting.
“This affects about $14 million worth of contracts,” says Johanne Bournival, the attaché de presse for Laval’s executive council. “We want to act responsibly and take every measure to act diligently.”
Laval will continue granting of contracts related to health, public security and services to the public, as well as those subject to grants from the provincial and federal governments.
