À l'occasion de sa revue de presse, vendredi, Paul Arcand fait le point sur la sortie de la mairesse de Longueuil en lien avec le décès du jeune Nooran Rezayi, abattu par des agents du Service de police de l'agglomération de Longueuil (SPAL), le 21 septembre. Catherine Fournier a demandé jeudi après-midi au ministre de la Sécurité publique, Ian Lafrenière, de déclencher une enquête sur son propre service de police. Elle fait valoir que des correspondances transmises par Me Brigitte Bishop, du Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI), à l’attention du directeur du service de police, Patrick Bélanger, révèlent plusieurs manquements présumés aux obligations légales et réglementaires après le décès. Autres sujets abordés Pablo Rodriguez s’accroche et cherche des appuis; Qu’est-ce que l’entente entre les médecins de famille et le gouvernement va changer dans nos vies?; Les augmentations de loyers seront moins fortes l'an prochain; Le gardien recrue des Canadiens, Jacob Fowler, remporte son premier match dans la LNH.
