Quebec Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx says the provincial government will spend $870 million to replace the decaying roof of Montreal’s Olympic Stadium.

Ms. Proulx told reporters in Montreal the existing roof is nearing the end of its life, and the stadium will have to close completely within two years if nothing is done.
