“We also work with the mayor (of Saguenay), Julie Dufour, and with the Red Cross to make sure that we help everyone find housing, then that we help all the families financially, but just to tell you , we follow it from hour to hour, ”said François Legault, who must proceed, in the afternoon, to the official inauguration of the Kruger Products tissue paper plant, commissioned in 2021 in Sherbrooke.
