Unhappy with the progress of negotiations, the common front of public sector unions is becoming impatient and threatening to strike. The union members are particularly outraged by the $30,000 salary raise for elected officials that the Legault government wants to adopt through a bill tabled this week.

There are 12,000 doses of AstraZeneca available to people in the region in the coming weeks, Estrie Public Health Director Alain Poirier told reporters Wednesday.
Anyone 45 years and older can make an appointment through the portal3.clicsante.ca website, or visit the Sherbrooke Exhibition Centre (centre de foires) between 5 and 8 p.m. to receive a dose.
According to Poirier, 4,239 of the 5,200 available appointments were filled between April 17-19. The rollout is proving popular and moving quickly. While the Estrie region was lagging slightly at 27.4 per cent of the population vaccinated, the region is on track to catch up with the rest of the province, now over 28 per cent.
