The idea for the training comes from former Montreal police officer Ian Lafrenière, now MNA for Vachon, as well as Ungava MNA Denis Lamothe, also a former police officer.

Lafrenière told reporters there is no such thing as too much prevention on the issue. Premier François Legault went further, noting that many lobbyists will be visiting his MNAs and the latter should know what’s at stake.
