But protest organizers, addressing the crowd outside the legislature, said they wanted more concessions from the provincial government.Organizer Bernard Gauthier called the tone of the protest “peaceful,” adding he hoped the provincial government would return the favour without specifying any demands.
Meanwhile, others called for an end to the provincially-declared health emergency and mandatory masks for school-aged children.“The pandemic is over, we have to end everything. We’re tired, it’s enough,” said Martel. Some demonstrators said they would also like assurance that the vaccine passport system would not return.Last week, Quebec announced it would be phasing out vaccine passports, but Health Minister Christian Dubé warned it would reimpose the passport system if it’s needed during a new wave of COVID-19. He told residents to not delete the cellphone application that stores a QR code used to check proof of vaccination.they had made three arrests near the legislature.
“The majority of demonstrators are respecting and honouring their agreement to want to demonstrate peacefully,” the police force said in a social media post.

Excuse me? Majority of canadians are anti Trudeau government already , because of his incompetent actions. He need to be sued.
More Ugly Canadians who believe that they are above the law. For all those that are unvaccinated, I hope that they don’t overcome our hospitals when they get Covid

Were we these people at the beginning . Most restrictions are beginning lifted . If really want to stop 🛑 the lockdown. Reduce the CAQ power in this coming election 🗳. Wonder how many Francophone will do that 🙄🙄🙄😳
I am tired of the mandates that we have had to endure during this pandemic, but I understand that they were required. On the other hand, I am sick and tired of these protests that are no longer legitimate and, more importantly, required as most of the mandates have come to an end
