Dairy farmer turned Liberal MP vows to be voice for tariff-hit Quebec region
Gobeil says he will press Ottawa to protect supply management as U.S. tariff talks stall and his region faces pressure from aluminum and forestry losses.
- Fjord was elected as a Liberal MP in an August 31 byelection, flipping a Conservative seat and contributing to a three-byelection sweep for the Liberals on the same day.
- Gobeil campaigned mainly on protecting Canada's supply-management system for dairy, poultry, and eggs, which uses quotas and tariffs, backed by a federal law stopping trade deals from increasing import quotas or lowering tariffs in these sectors.
- He vowed to represent Quebec's tariff-affected Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, which faces challenges in aluminum, forestry, and defense sectors, and plans to bring his farming experience to politics.
- Gobeil is open to a larger government role if offered while slowly handing farming duties to his family.
