Solid Bloc support

On October 17th Bloc Quebecois members of Parliament (MPs) started presenting some of the 130,000 signatures collected on the petition to stop the Quebec City plant closure. Petitions have been presented by Richard Marceau, Odina Desrochers, Bernard Cleary, Christian Simard, Michel Guimond, Roger Clavet, Guy Côté, and Christiane Gagnon. In addition, Christian Gagnon has been raising problems associated with the Quebec City plant closure in the House of Commons regularly. So far, the federal government has done little but suggest that no employee will lose his or her job. This stance has been maintained in spite of the 302 positions in Quebec City that are being destroyed and the dozens of temporary worker who are, in fact, losing their jobs.
