Currently, anyone who parks at a hospital is looking at a rate of about $25 a day in Montreal. McCann said that soon, the first two hours will be free and the maximum daily parking rate will cost between $7 and $10 depending on the region.
The government will table its economic update next week, but on Monday, McCann wouldn’t say when the new fees will come into effect. However, in September, McCann said the promise will be fulfilled before the end of the term in 2022.
