The Bloc Quebecois has a new point person for agriculture. Sébastien Lemire, MP for the western Quebec riding of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, was named the party's critic for agriculture, agri-food, and supply management this week. He replaces Yves Perron, who has served as the party's ag critic and an active member of the House of Commons' agriculture committee going back to 2020.
