Farmers have gathered in Rimouski, Quebec to voice their concerns in the days leading up to the province’s next budget announcement.
Several hundred farmers from Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie region travelled to Rimouski to participate in the demonstration by the Federation of the Union of Agricultural Producers (UPA) of Bas-Saint-Laurent.
Dozens of tractors and trailers joined together in a convoy to circle the street in front of the office of Minister Maïté Blanchette Vézina, who represents the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine regions.
Afterwards, the tractors moved to the offices of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Quebec.
