“(L)a main-d’œuvre moins disponible.” During a period with real unemployment nearing 20% just doesn’t compute. Sure, tradies may be in short supply, but all too often junior skilled workers are consigned to do unskilled grunt jobs, while all it takes for an unskilled applicant to work in construction is a six-hour CNESST course completion and a signed FTQ card.

In Saint Raymond they’re building a roof for a double bocce court for a lot of money. There’s no reason to do that this summer, it can’t be used. There, freed up some labour. (Just don’t leave it the way it is, taking up a quarter of the greenspace for the road to the bocce court.)
They should be looking at every city project and figuring out whether it can be deferred.
