Should I ever find a PDF of the English-language counterpart report -- The fight against organized crime in Québec: Québec Police Commission: report of the Commission of Inquiry on Organized Crime and Recommendations -- I will post a link in this thread.

For those of you who, like me, can muddle through French and are interested in the discussion in the 1970s about whether the Montreal Mafia / Cotroni-Violi organization was its own distinct "family," look at the report pages 97–109 of the file (look at the report pages, not the PDF page number). You might also consider some of the information in those pages to be support for the argument that Paolo Violi and Nick Rizzuto Sr. were members of the Bonanno Family in New York, not members of the 'ndrangheta and Sicilian Cosa Nostra respectively.


I agree that they were members of the Bonanno family and there is no dispute about that but I also believe they were members of the Ndrangheta and Sicilian mafia respectively.
