A tour of Quebec’s regions
At the end of July, I began a summer tour of Quebec’s regions to meet entrepreneurs and local officials and discuss with them tourism development and various regional issues in which the federal government is involved. As I do in all such meetings, I explained our government’s efforts to foster a better business environment by reducing red tape and the tax burden for businesses.
Here I am with business people in Sept-Îles and Gaspé.
The village of Mont St-Pierre in the Gaspé peninsula held this year the 35th edition of its Fête du vol libre (a hand-gliding festival). I met the mayor, Jean-Sébastien Cloutier (centre) and the prefect of Haute-Gaspésie, Allen Cormier.
In Matane, I kicked off the 20th edition of the Festival country with its director, André Rouleau.
Still in Matane, I stopped by one of the largest soft ball tournaments in Quebec, the Festi-Balle Coors Light, organised by Sylvain Caron.

Bonjour,
Vos photos sont belles et éclatées.
Félicitations pour votre bon travail.
We saw you from our balcony this summer in the parade for the 275th anniversary of the founding of our town – Saint Joseph de Beauce! As you passed we yelled ‘salut Maxime’ and you responded with ‘ah mon dieu’ … we didn’t know how to take that exactly LOL … it could have been a reaction to the people on the ground actually trying to approch you – in your car! LOL … at times it must be tough being so popular but we’re proud of you and appreciate the work you do for us and for all Canadians – merci!
Excellent M. Bernier,
Vous faite un travail de pionniers!
Vous etes l’exemple de l’intelligence et la passion au service de la nation.
J’aime bien le veston bleu à carreaux là. C’est beau de voir que vous récupérez bien les vêtements d’autrefois. Très écologique.
