As you probably know, Vegan Option Canada created a petition in Quebec, which was then presented to the National Assembly by our sponsor, Sol Zanetti, on March 10, 2020.

We are pleased to announce that Vegan Option Canada, Quebec Chapter, recently received an email from Jessica Ruel-Thériault, Sol Zanetti’s Political Attaché, informing us that André Lamontagne, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ), has issued a response to our petition. This is the good news… the not so good news is that Mr. Lamontagne has not yet specified if he intends to support our request for a bill. On the other hand, he has promised that his government will unveil “an initiative that will address, among other things, the purchase of healthy, local and eco-responsible food in public institutions.

We responded to his letter by supporting some concrete proposals, here it is.
