The former president of Quebec’s dairy producers says he may already have contributed to Canada’s approach to the Trump administration, even before voters in Chicoutimi—Le Fjord elected him to Parliament in an Aug. 31 byelection. “My opinion was taken into account, even when I was still a candidate,” Gobeil said in an interview on Friday with The Canadian Press.
