A large crowd of union protesters gathered Thursday morning in Quebec City to protest against possible legislation limiting the rights of municipal workers. Mayors from around the province are attending the annual meeting of the Union of Quebec Municipalities at the Quebec City convention centre on René Lévesque Boulevard. Municipal Affairs Minister Martin Coiteux has not confirmed whether the feared measures will be included in the fiscal pact bill. "Enough is enough," said Marc Ranger, the Quebec director for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). The protesters believe those powers will be granted to municipalities in the next financial agreement they negotiate with the province.
