An agreement-in-principle has been reached between the city and Montreal’s Police Brotherhood, Mayor Denis Coderre announced via Twitter just after noon on Saturday.

“The parties worked very hard [with] openness and good faith,” Coderre tweeted.
“Congratulations for this positive outcome!” he added.
The agreement comes after "intense" negociations, Martin Desrochers, spokesperson for the police brotherhood said in a statement.
As a result, Montreal police will return to wearing their standard-issue uniforms.
Police officers have donned camouflage pants since 2014, when they began protesting the Couillard government's municipal pension reform.
On Monday, officers were asked to wear their regular uniforms for a week-long period while negociations were underway.
As negociations continued into Saturday, police continued to wear their regular uniforms.
The agreement reached between the parties means that police will be ending their pressure tactics.
No details on what the agreement entails, other than laying out a revised pension plan for a period of seven years-- from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2021.
The police brotherhood is not commenting on the agreement at this time.
Details to come.
