Quebec's National Assembly adopted on Wednesday a controversial bill shielding from lawsuits an agreement reached between Quebec City and media giant Quebecor over plans to build a $400-million NHL-calibre arena.
"We're very happy it's over," Quebec City mayor Regis Labeaume said Wednesday. "Now we can move forward."
He said several contracts will be awarded in the coming months to determine the real costs of building the arena, which could serve as the future home of an NHL team.
The bill was adopted by majority at the legislature Wednesday, but a dozen PQ members either voted against the bill or abstained from voting. |
Can anyone bid on this project?
