GMMQ

The GMMQ is for a negotiation between the government and student representatives

04.18.2012 - The GMMQ regrets the situation of long-running crisis as no meeting date has been set between the government and representatives of the striking students.

The GMMQ is concerned about the impact of the status quo, particularly on students in music who will suffer the brunt of rising tuition, because of the precariousness of a large majority of musicians trying to make their living from music. It is hoped that all parties can start negotiating soon.

Easter holiday

Please note that the GMMQ offices in Montreal and Quebec will be closed on Friday 6th and Monday 9th April 2012 due to easter holiday.

Thank you for your understanding.
