A petition created by the Association Restauration Québec (ARQ) last week is gaining momentum with more than 10,000 Quebecers signing the virtual document as of Wednesday afternoon.
“We believe it’s a good first step to attain this level of signatures, you know, 10,000 people is a lot of people,” said ARQ Spokesperson Martin Vezina in an interview with The Record.
The ‘Sauvez les restos, M. Legault!’ campaign, or Save the restaurants, Mr. Legault, is an attempt by the ARQ to mobilize restaurant owners, staff, suppliers and patrons to demand the Quebec government reopen dining halls across the province.
