“The challenge is that Quebec is a big place and cellular and internet reception isn’t perfect everywhere,” Riendeau said. “We would like to have more information on the usage to ensure that it can be effective in places that are less densely populated than Quebec City.”Riendeau says groups have asked for a meeting with Public Security Minister François Bonnardel to get details about how the bracelet is being deployed.
