MONTREAL — Montreal's city council has voted down a motion brought by a pair of Independent city councillors seeking to have a state of emergency declared over the city's homelessness situation.
The motion submitted by council members Craig Sauvé and Serge Sasseville was defeated Monday night in a 32-26 vote. A state of emergency would have given council more powers, including allowing the city to requisition privately owned accommodation for shelter spaces, but the governing Projet Montréal said it would be largely symbolic.
