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<\/a>, on March 10, 2020.<\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce that Vegan Option Canada, Quebec Chapter, recently received an email from Jessica Ruel-Th\u00e9riault, Sol Zanetti’s Political Attach\u00e9, informing us that Andr\u00e9 Lamontagne, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ), has issued a response to our petition<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

We responded to his letter by supporting some concrete proposals, here it is<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
