Even the presence of large police did not deter the union activists at the demonstration. The Charest protest letter was handed over to the Political Counselor, Mr. Olivier Hebert. He has assured that as a follow-up to our requests to meet the Premier Charest &#8211; they would direct the Canadian High Commission to initiate steps. The press conference also went on well with the participation of both print and visual media. Lastly, the Quebec media invited us to hotel Taj Palace to know our point of view.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div id=\"attachment_604\" style=\"width: 501px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/central.bcwebinc.com\/~rightcan\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Demos-in-Delhi-4.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-604\" class=\"size-full wp-image-604  \" title=\"Appeal to Quebec governemnt to stop exporting asbestos\" src=\"https:\/\/central.bcwebinc.com\/~rightcan\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Demos-in-Delhi-4.JPG\" alt=\"A sign held by demonstators in Delhi (Photo: Building &amp; Woodworkers International)\" width=\"491\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-604\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign held by demonstators in Delhi (Photo: Building &amp; Woodworkers International)<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To read the full article posted to the Building &amp; Woodworkers&#8217; website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bwint.org\/default.asp?Index=2501&amp;Language=EN\">you can click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Quebec\u00a0 Premier Jean Charest travels through India, he continues to meet protesters asking him to stop exporting deadly asbestos.
