Television crews have been gathering all day outside his office as he returned to work.

He has cancelled public appearances following the latest allegations to emerge from Quebec’s corruption inquiry.

Meanwhile, the city has suspended a fourth employee, an engineer, pending an internal investigation.

A few kilometres north, in Laval, Que., a statement from that municipality says its embattled mayor Gilles Vaillancourt has not decided to resign — at least not yet.

“The mayor is continuing his period of rest and reflection,” said the statement from the city’s executive committee. “Once his decision is taken, it will be shared with you.”
