What can be done to fill Montreal's empty storefronts? City hall plans to find out

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante has asked the city's economic and urban development commission to look into the problem this fall, with a report to be made public in December. At a news conference Monday, Plante said every street and neighbourhood faces its own challenges when it comes to ensuring commercial space is rented out.

She rejected the idea there was a quick-fix solution to the vacancy-rate problem. "Some of the local business streets in Montreal are doing well; some not so well," Plante said. "It's not a one-fit-for-all solution. We need to put all the right people around the table."
