MRC Pontiac Warden Jane Toller stopped by CHIP 101.9’s studios this week to discuss her attendance at a meeting of the Fédération québécoise des municipalités on May 30 and the issues that were discussed.
She highlighted a short meeting that took place between the wardens of the Outaouais and Quebec’s Health Minister Christian Dubé regarding short-staffing issues in the region’s health care facilities.
Toller also spoke about the discussions surrounding Bill 57, incoming legislation from Quebec’s Minister of Municipal Affairs Andrée Laforest which would impose fines on people who harass or intimidate elected officials. She said that the pandemic was a turning point when it came to hostile interactions between citizens and elected officials.
