No special tax for vacant commercial space
The city won’t be levying a punitive tax on commercial vacancies, but wants Quebec to move on controlling commercial rents as it does – in theory – with residential rents. Since Quebec has weakened and renamed the Régie du logement in recent years and since it has little motivation to give Montreal a means to keep its commercial streets vibrant, I suspect this may remain little more than a wish.

This is like the exact opposite of good sense, as we all know.
