“Despite the loss of income in certain sectors and the major expenses linked to the pandemic, the City of Montreal has chosen to freeze the general property tax falling under the municipal council for the year 2021 in order to help Montrealers and businesses who really need it. We are making this decision because we know that while Montreal is doing well in terms of recovery, Montrealers have suffered a lot from the current crisis and unfortunately it is not over, so we are trying to give them a break with this tax freeze.”
