To find out more about the flu and the flu shot, visit www.ontario.ca/flu. The EOHU will offer the flu shot by appointment at all its offices.

On y indique que le spectacle de la chanteuse country Guylaine Tanguay se tiendra sur la scène du grand chapiteau. C’est plutôt à la salle du Complexe J.R. Brisson qu’aura lieu ce spectacle. – Caroline Prévost

Tribune-Express, Martin Roy, Drouin’s as- sistant, forwarded the MP’s concern that Lemieux’s petition does not follow the proper procedure for members of the public to file petitions to Parliament. Access to the petition is through Lemieux’s website which is authorized by the GPR Conservative riding association and the petition also asks those who sign it if they want to be volunteers. The concern from Drouin’s office is the petition may be a tactic to collect names and emails of people in the riding for addition to a future election campaign contacts list. During a followup phone interview Tuesday morning, Lemieux explained that he had not planned to present the MP’s office with the petition once all the signatures were tallied up. “There are many different kinds of petition,” Lemieux said, adding that his did not conform to the guidelines set by Parliament for a public petition to the House of Commons. “The aim of this petition is to allow people in our riding a chance to express their sup- port for farmers in our riding,” he said, adding that MPs are able to make statements in Parliament on any topic in response to their constituents’ concerns. “There are many ways to make peoples’ voices heard.” Lemieux also denied that the petition set up through his website is meant to help build up a future election campaign contacts list. i/P UIFJOUFOUPGUIFBET*QMBDFEJO newspapers and the brochures I mailed out to farmers and their families and others is to inform them and to allow them to express their opinion,” he said. “The local MP has really let them down.” Lemieux predicted that the planned federal carbon tax will also have a serious impact on the farm sector. “Small business will be hit the most,” he said. “All those farms are small businesses. The Liberals really are letting our farmers down in a big way.” Saint-Albert », a expliqué le président du comité organisateur Rock Landry.

Conservative candidate Pierre Lemieux says farmers in Glengarry-Prescott- Russell feel betrayed by the federal government over the new free trade agreement. He’s collecting signatures for a petition which he plans to present to MP Francis Drouin and Parliament. “I know that people support local farmers and their families,” said Lemieux during an JOUFSWJFXPWFSUIF/PWFNCFSXFFLFOE adding there is a sense of “betrayal” among farmers and others in the Glengarry-Prescott- Russell riding, over Canada’s actions during negotiations for the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). 5IF64.$"XJMMSFQMBDFUIF/PSUI"NFSJ - DBO'SFF5SBEF"HSFFNFOU /"'5" PODF Congress, Parliament, and the Mexican leg- islature have all ratified the new continental trade agreement.

to his office. He has received local feedback about the impact of the USMCA on Canada’s farm sector. “Obviously dairy took a hit,” he said. “They (dairy farmers) are not happy about that and I understand. But I still do believe that the agricultural sector here will be strong.” Drouin also expressed scepticism about how much actual worth Lemieux’s project will have, unless the former Conservative MP regains his seat as the GPR representative in the next federal election. “If he’s not promising to repeal the USMCA, then it’s just an empty promise,” said Drouin regarding the petition. “But I’ll be happy to present it to Parliament.” In a follow-up phone call to the Prescott-Russell recueille des signatures d’agriculteurs et d’autres personnes de la circonscription dans une pétition. —archives Pierre Lemieux soutient que le gouvernement canadien a trahi les agriculteurs de l’est de l’Ontario et du reste du pays en acceptant les modalités de l’Accord États-Unis- Mexique-Canada, qui remplacera l’Accord de libre-échange nord-américain.
