According to SPVM, the line got 43 calls on Thursday, October 19, and 1o calls early on the early morning of Friday, October 20.

The number for the hotline is 514-280-2079. It is in service from 7 am to 10 pm, Monday to Friday. If you wish to make a call on the weekend, you can do so at any time by dialling 911.
