Pont Samuel-De Champlain  | Les structures de prévention du suicide sont insuffisantes, dit une coroner
AI Article Summary

A coroner's report highlights the insufficient suicide prevention measures on Quebec's Samuel-De Champlain bridge. The coroner recommends the federal Ministry of Infrastructure and the bridge management to urgently enhance prevention barriers.
