Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre said homes have been evacuated in that borough as well as on two nearby islands. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said that the military response to flooding in Quebec is likely to balloon. "At the moment, since yesterday, there are 450 Canadian forces personnel on the ground in various locations across Quebec," Goodale told CTV's "Question Period" on Sunday. "We have over 100 firemen who are working 24 hours a day, visiting door to door and making some evacuations," he said.
