Quebec police officers still want to wear camouflage pants

QUEBEC — Montreal police officers are not giving up their fight to be allowed to wear camouflage pants.

Their union says it is one of its only effective pressure tactics.

Union officials testified Wednesday at legislative hearings into Bill 133, which if passed would force officers to wear their regulation uniforms.

The government tabled the legislation after Montreal police officers wore clown pants for a few years to protest changes to their pension plans.
