MONTREAL — Negotiations to settle the Quebec construction strike broke down overnight.
The talks had resumed, in the presence of a provincial conciliator, on Sunday night.

More than 175,000 construction workers across the province walked out Monday last week.

In the absence of any rapid settlement, there was speculation that members of the Quebec National Assembly could be convened Tuesday to vote on return-to-work legislation.
