“It’s already done,” he said when he left a militant rally in the riding of Vanier—Les-Rivières. “The biggest amount, 90% of the bill, was a building that I rented and it was the tenant who was responsible. »
He claimed to have notified him immediately after being contacted by the journalist. “He paid within minutes,” he said.
The City of Quebec demanded more than $14,000 in total and threatened to seize his two buildings. It is unusual for a tenant to pay property taxes. That of Éric Duhaime must pay electricity, taxes and cable, according to the press secretary of the Conservative leader, Cédric Lapointe.
