Police say they believe a suspect broke a window at the back of the building and lit an object on fire early in the morning.
“It is impossible to know exactly what time the crime occurred,” said police spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils.
No arrests have been made, and there is no information available about the suspect.
The investigation was transferred to the police department’s arson squad.
