SAINT-ANDRÉ-D’ARGENTEUIL | The man of the Laurentians, which was the hunger strike in a house affected so that Québec pays out the money promised after the floods of spring had eventually prevailed.

After the publication of an article in The Journal de Montréal on Tuesday, his parents-in-law, the owners of the residence located in Saint-André-d’argenteuil, have learned that they will receive a cheque within two weeks.

Anne-Marie Forget confirmation has been received that the department of public Safety would be a good part of the money promised in the next 14 days.

His son-in-law Alexander Casavant has therefore ceased his hunger strike in the early evening on Tuesday.

“I ordered him to return home. He wasn’t disappointed, he was very tired, very burned “, explained Ms. Forget.

Although she is happy that his case is finally settled, Ms. Forget is still a little bitter from having been forced to fight at this point.

“It is certain that if we had not stirred things up, the cheque would not have been unlocked too soon,” she said.

Last Friday, Alexander Casavant was installed on a camp bed in the house affected. He had begun a hunger strike to raise awareness of the population and the government to the problems of his parents-in-law.

The CAQ is involved

Made aware of the case of Ms. Forget, the Coalition avenir Québec was keen to point out that several other cases of disaster victims across the province still lying around in length.

“We laugh, literally, of the situation of some victims losing their folder, ask them to repeat requests that have already been filed in good and due form,” said Benoit Charette, deputy caquiste of Two-Mountains.
