The agreement, which the FTA's Board recommends for ratification by its members, covers a period of six years. While no other details were disclosed, Education Minister Jean-François L'Oberge referred to a "significant investment" and said the deal "will promote the stability of the school's transport sector and It ensures the safety of students and meets the many expectations of transporters.”
