’Everyone is very nice’
The MP for Berthier-Maskinonge visits her constituents.
According to participants in one meeting, she insisted on struggling along in the language of her constituents -- speaking in French even when they addressed her in English. "It’s not bad -- she has an accent but at least she speaks French," said another resident, Daniel Ringuette. He said he’s just happy she finally visited the riding: "I even invited her to come play tennis with us," he said...
"She speaks French so well, it’s surprising," said Louiseville mayor Guy Richard, after their meeting. "I think we will have a very good MP."
