Montreal City G.M. forced to resign

The chaos and uncertainty continues at Montreal city hall.

According to CBC News, General Manger Guy Hebert was forced to resign from his post on Monday afternoon. He was forced to give up his post after denying he was responsible for former SPVM cheif Marc Parent's resignation earlier in the day at a press conference.

Interim mayor Michael Applebaum told the media that Hebert overstepped his bounds by asking Parent to resign. It was then revealed by an aide of the Quebec Public Security minister that Hebert did in fact try to have Parent removed from power.

The cheif leaving his post follows the city's decision to end a pilot project where police officers were to work 3 days a week at extended hours.

The police brotherhood opposes the current hours in place for their members and have held marches, protesting against what they call "hours from the past."
