Ville-Marie waives terrasse fees
Ville-Marie is waiving fees for terrasses in an attempt to lighten the financial burden on suffering restaurants.

Awesome! Now waive or privatize inspections, greatly loosen all rules around booze and all sorts of other things: all restaurants should get a temporary full license and be allowed to serve takeaway cocktails or bottles of all sorts; open container rules are nuked in toto; business hours of operation should be completely unregulated for the foreseeable future; and – of course – pretty much every possible square meter of poorly used street/parking lot/park space should be available for restaurants to set up outdoor terrasses.
These measures could supercharge the recovery in restauration/hospitality, and make for a great summer.

I like all of those ideas david100 except privatizing or waiving inspections. That sounds like a disaster in the making. Why would you want to compromise food safety? And surely there will need to be inspectors who make sure there is adequate space between tables.

That was pretty much my response too.
