extra-sure that it&#8217;s safe and won&#8217;t blow up your house.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The utility is sending its technicians to check on outdoor smart meters to ensure that they aren&#8217;t within three metres of outside propane tanks &#8211; the kind attached to your building, not attached to your barbecue.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hydro spokeswoman Nathalie Vachon says the utility is complying with a request from the Quebec building authority.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;We are conducting some tests to really determine the risk of using the remote interruption and restoration function near a gas leak,&#8221; she says.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While the risk of using the remote service interruption feature near a gas leak hasn&#8217;t been confirmed &#8211; and no incidents have been recorded &#8211; neither Hydro nor the building authority wants to take the chance.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hydro

missed the memo that said the new smart meters are optional. \u00a0The worker faces disciplinary measures for breaking into a home north of Montreal to install a new digital counter.\u00a0Homeowner Lucie Racicot caught the installer climbing through the window of her veranda.\u00a0&#8220;She had the smart meter in her hands and she was ready to change it without my permission,&#8221; Racicot told QMI Agency.\u00a0&#8220;When I confronted her she said: &#8216;Miss, we can be bold at Hydro when we have to be.'&#8221; \u00a0The worker then left through the same window.<\/p>\n<p>Hydro-Quebec confirmed the story to QMI Agency and has apologized to Racicot by phone and by letter.\u00a0&#8220;The employee&#8217;s behaviour is completely unacceptable,&#8221; spokesman Patrice Lavoie told QMI. \u00a0He insists Hydro-Quebec isn&#8217;t pressuring workers to install smart meters.\u00a0Meanwhile, Racicot wants compensation and says she&#8217;s keeping her old meter at all

of a neighbor who claims to have seen a smart meter ignite Monday, March 16 at 43 rue Saint-Louis in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield has revived the debate on the equipment installed by Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n<p>Even if in the present case the cause of the fire was not related to meter, but rather to water infiltration, controversy over social networks is palpable. Moreover, many readers believe that the corporation never publicly will say only that its counters include fire hazards.<\/p>\n<p>C\u00e9dric Grenier is categorical in his commentary. &#8220;Mine has been on fire. I had to pull it out with a hammer. Hydro came to analyze my counter and disappeared, &#8220;said Mr. Grenier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quebec firefighters at war with Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The situation declared by the man would not be a precedent. In Quebec City, a letter was sent to all members of the General Staff of the Fire Protection Service in which the Assistant Director of Strategic and Administrative Affairs calls on the fire to ensure that the employees of Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec not leave the premises without first met with an investigator.<\/p>\n<p>Michel M\u00e9nard, director of the Fire Department Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, confirms that it is not ideal that Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec is leaving with the meter before the investigation is completed.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Mr. M\u00e9nard this would never have happened in the territory of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield Quebec Hydro act this way. &#8220;I have heard that in Quebec, there disharmony. For cons, I can not move me on the record because I do not know all the details, &#8220;says Michel M\u00e9nard.<\/p>\n<p>The Director of Fire Service Salaberry-de-Valleyfield confess that if Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec leaves with a counter, it affects dramatically the future investigation. &#8220;It is unfortunate if this is real. How to make an inquiry, if we do not have all the information, questions Mr. M\u00e9nard. I would also like to know, is that Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec superior to other rights to do this? &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Strong reaction of the protest movement<\/p>\n<p>On the side of the movement &#8220;Refuse counters,&#8221; Marie-Michele Fish, spokesman says saddened the lack of transparency of Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec in this folder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fires have occurred in the Montreal area, Saguenay, Quebec and Ontario. California, where we find the same counter model as that used by HQ at the moment (Landis &amp; Gyr-Focus), many fires have occurred and there has been loss of life. There are currently criminal investigation for collusion and corruption in California and, thanks to this survey, we now discover that the leaders wanted to hide facts to the California population, &#8220;growls Mrs. Fish, adding that the disappearance of counters in a fire is common.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/141115_vv417_routeur-hydro_sn635.jpg\" alt=\"141115_vv417_routeur-hydro_sn635\" width=\"635\" height=\"357\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Quebec : Router installed without the consent of citizens of d\u2019Asbestos : Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec backtracked<\/h2>\n<p>Updated Tuesday, December 23, 2014 At 15 h 10 PST<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:GENEVIEVE.PROULX@RADIO-CANADA.CA\">Genevi\u00e8ve Proulx<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Radio-Canada<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?p=5083\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">full story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WxIi6S_O20w<\/p>\n<h2>Quebec : Electrosmog may cause health problems, group says<\/h2>\n<p>A relatively new type of air pollution called electrosmog may be the cause of a variety of ailments, said a Quebec group dedicated to fighting air pollution.<\/p>\n<h5>CBC News\u00a0<strong> May 25, 2013 <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/montreal\/story\/2013\/05\/25\/montreal-electrosmog-electromagnetic-hypersensitivity-smart-meters.html\">http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/montreal\/story\/2013\/05\/25\/montreal-electrosmog-electromagnetic-hypersensitivity-smart-meters.html<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>SMART METER ACTIVE IN QUEBEC <em><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&#8211; VIDEO<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/ftherrien#videoId=xdbvca\">http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/ftherrien#videoId=xdbvca<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Compteur Hydro Qu\u00e9bec- micro-ondes- Four &#8211; Danger<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/ftherrien\">http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/ftherrien<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>HYDRO QU\u00c9BEC ENVISAGES TO INSTALL\u00a0MORE THAN 4 MILLION METERS USING MICROWAVES.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microwaves emitted constantly 24hours a day, 7 days a week\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>These measurements are compared with those emitted by furnace-with-microphone-waves.<\/p>\n<p>Measurements: meter d&#8217; Hydro-Quebec = more than 1500 uw\/m2, that of the furnace = more 2000uw\/m2*.

The contract is worth a reported $350 million, and pilot phases are expected to rollout in Montreal and other areas later this year.<\/p>\n<p>This April, we noted a competing $270 million contract between <strong>BC Hydro and Itron<\/strong> that looks to install roughly two million smart meters in Canada over the next two years. And late last year, we reported that Landis+Gyr had been contracted for a similar smart grid project in Texas, deploying meters in San Antonio. But the most recent news comes just following the announcement that Landis+Gyr, a once privately held firm, is the process of being acquired under a $2.3 billion deal with technology giant Toshiba. No word on if that acquisition had any affect on the contract with Hydro-Quebec.<\/p>\n<p>Installation of the smart meters will allow the utility provider to collect usage, voltage, and power quality data from ratepayers, and the company claims consumers will be able to see real-time information about the electricity they purchase as well, someday.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the agreement calls for Landis+Gyr to build what they\u2019re calling a \u201ccenter of excellence\u201d that will house calibration, inspection, meter assembly, and network management tools, among other things. The opening date for the center was not listed, but according to the release, the facility may employ up to seventy-five local, new workers.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthtechling.com\/2011\/06\/three-million-smart-meters-set-for-canada\/\">http:\/\/www.earthtechling.com\/2011\/06\/three-million-smart-meters-set-for-<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthtechling.com\/2011\/06\/three-million-smart-meters-set-for-canada\/\"><strong>canada\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Water meter automation solution selected for City of Montreal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Montreal, Canada &#8212; (METERING.COM)<\/p>\n<p>January 30, 2009 &#8211; The advanced water metering and monitoring solution, Water SaveSource, has been selected for the City of Montreal\u2019s water meter automation project.<\/p>\n<p>Considered one of the largest projects in the city\u2019s history, Water SaveSource from Itron will allow the city to accurately measure water consumption, better track and manage usage, and optimize efforts to reduce system leaks and upgrade infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Phase one of the project entails deploying Water SaveSource to over<strong> 23,000 customers on the Island of Montreal, as well as replacing 7,000 existing meters between now and 2013<\/strong>.

We have to evaluate the cost of it, and the benefit at the same time,&#8221; he told CBC News. &#8220;Because we don&#8217;t want to increase the bills of our customers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Quebec Liberal government first floated the idea of smart meters in 2006 when it unveiled a nine-year, multi-billion energy strategy that\u00a0included plans to increase electricity production and cut down on consumption.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Premier Jean Charest said Quebec homes would be equipped with smart meters by 2009 to encourage people to use energy more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Quebecers are among the biggest hydro consumers in Canada, a habit that needs to change, according the premier.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The golden rule about energy and the environment [is] it&#8217;s the energy you do not consume that is the best investment you can make,&#8221; he recently said.<\/p>\n<p>Hydro Quebec is still open to a pilot project testing smart meters, but is not prepared to introduce them on a wider scale, Boulanger said.<\/p>\n<p>In Ontario, the province&#8217;s power utility has installed more than 200,000 smart meters in recent years after a successful pilot project spearheaded by Ottawa&#8217;s municipal utility.<\/p>\n<p>The Hydro Ottawa Smart Price Pilot results revealed that, with conservation considered, &#8220;93 per cent of customers paid less than they would have under regular rates,&#8221; said Hydro One spokesman Dave Watts.<\/p>\n<p>Lower energy use during peak times means less need for new generating stations, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/canada\/montreal\/story\/2007\/12\/10\/qc-hydrosmart1210.html#ixzz19qZHCNB4\">http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/canada\/montreal\/story\/2007\/12\/10\/qc-hydrosmart1210.html#ixzz19qZHCNB4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<h2>Rogers Communications to Provide M2M for Hydro-Quebec<\/h2>\n<p>MONDAY, 20 JUNE 2011 11:38<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smartmeters.com\/the-news\/2352-rogers-communications-to-provide-m2m-for-hydro-quebec.html\"> http:\/\/www.smartmeters.com\/the-news\/2352-rogers-communications-to-provide-m2m-for-hydro-quebec.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rogers Communications announced that its team in Quebec will enable the machine to machine (M2M) wireless connectivity across the province to Hydro-Quebec.

Ontario is among the jurisdictions that has taken that route.<\/p>\n<p>Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s move to smart meters will lead to the elimination of about 726 positions at the utility, mostly meter readers, the utility says.<\/p>\n<p>About 32 per cent of the employees will be eligible for retirement while the remaining people can find jobs in other departments, the utility says.<\/p>\n<p>The union contends that the elimination of \u201c800 direct jobs and 200 indirect jobs\u201d will translate into the loss of tax revenue to the provincial government in about $14.7 million annually.<\/p>\n<p>No mention was made by the union of the 75-person centre in Montreal promised by Landis+Gyr.<\/p>\n<p>Paul said that the union will use every means possible to fight the deployment of smart meters and it has launched at public awareness campaign.<\/p>\n<p>For its part, Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec has no objections to the energy board holding public hearings on the meter deployment, spokeswoman Danielle Chabot said.<\/p>\n<p>The union can ask the board to hold oral hearings but \u201cit will be up to the R\u00e9gie to decide what procedure it will adopt,\u201d R\u00e9gie de l\u2019\u00e9nergie Secretary V\u00e9ronique Dubois said.<\/p>\n<p>Recognized intervenors can present written positions to the board along with specific objections to or questions about
