On February 20, 2019 Sébastien Laprise and Jean-Benoît Pouliot represented the Union des municipalités du Québec before the Supreme Court of Canada in the matter of Ville de Montréal v. Octane Stratégie inc. (file 38066), in which the UMQ is an intervenor.
This matter raises issues that are fundamental for all Quebec municipalities, as the Court is being asked to rule on the consequences of non-compliance with the rules on the formation and awarding of municipal contracts.
