BCF’s governing body will recommend the adoption of the agreement in principle to its members.

That same agreement is spread over a period of six years. For now, the details of the agreement will remain confidential in order to allow BCF members to conclude agreements with their respective school service centre.

“It proposes significant investments, and promotes greater stability in the school transportation sector,” said Minister of Education Jean-François Roberge by press release. “It guarantees the safety of students, and meets many expectations school carriers had.”

Several school transport contracts had expired since June 30.

“The BCF is delighted that the measures put in place by the government are making it possible to ensure a safe return to school for the students we’re transporting daily,” said President and CEO of the BCF, Luc Lafrance. (N.P.)

However, it’s illegal for companies to make deals on price or territory. This could have significant consequences for the company and its owner, should this rule be violated.

Some snow removal companies working in your area may contact you soon or at the start of the new season, or even during the winter in order to offer to share the work to be done, or the territory to be covered. They may also try to convince you to impose additional charges on customers if snowfalls are too frequent and too heavy during the winter.

Let’s note that it’s illegal for owners to make agreements with their competitors on the prices charged (by their own company), including increases or additional charges. Furthermore, it’s also prohibited to conclude agreements related to the territories, streets or neighbourhoods covered, as well as agreements regarding the number of customers that the company will serve.
