Brownsburg, Quebec – The devout nun in charge of administration insists she didn’t swear after she opened and read the letter in late August, addressed to her monastery from the Quebec Milk Marketing Board, but admits she did gasp in disbelief.
The August 19th letter from the Les Producteurs du Lait du Quebec (PLQ) to the Mesdames at the Saint Monastere Vierge – Marie la Consolatrice, on their 265-acre farm in the rocky, bush hills north of Montreal, didn’t mince words.
After ‘an investigation’ by the PLQ, it ‘leads us to believe’ that over the past two and a half years “you have produced and/or marketed a volume of 38,304 litres of milk without the knowledge of the PLQ and without holding quota,” it stated.
“In consequence, by virtue of article 18 of the Regulations, a penalty of $53,207.00 has been imposed on you. In addition, a penalty of $20,000 has been imposed on you by virtue of article 8.03 of the Conventions,” stated the letter.
