An online translator does the usual crude job, but one thing of interest is that there were "..three samples taken in July and in August and analyzed in private laboratory, for each of the 73 public swimming pools on the Island of Montreal..."

Quebec got hammered earlier this summer for its lack of rules and enforcement for waterparks after a boy lost his legs. Other provinces have much stricter standards and enforecement. I have to wonder if that applies to pools as well, even those these are public, government run pools.
