I'm a lazy bastard, so I'll let Babel Fish translate for me. It's surpringly legible...kinda.

L' company Forage Dynami-Tech is still found in l' embarrassment. For one second time in less d' one year, l' company is responsible d' to have caused a rain of rocks on a residential district. L' accident occurred Thursday morning in Boischatel. Rocks projected after d' an explosion damaged two residences and a vehicle. L' company has could have neglected to withdraw a layer of rocks crushed before proceeding to the dynamiting. An investigation is in hand. The Commission spokesman of the health and the occupational safety (CSST), Lucie Michaud, explains that l' company could face continuations. “Dynami-Tech Drilling could, at the end of l' inquire, s' to expose to continuations whose amounts could vary from 5000 $ to 20.000 $ and repetition, the amounts could go jusqu' to 50.000 $”, explains Mrs. Michaud. Work is suspended jusqu' at the end of l' inquire. In August 2008, several residences had been damaged following work of dynamiting to the Unibéton career in Beauport.


Apparently, it's the 4th time this company fucks up (including one time where carbon monoxyde somehow leaked in people's homes.
It's a miracle nobody died all those times, seriously. I doubt 70kg rocks blown 300 meters away will be stopped by roofs or even brick walls.

If it's the fourth time the company has fucked up, why the hell haven't there been penalties or restraints put on them? Of course, I assume that's what this sentence could mean:
