The prospect of continued protests following this week's breakdownof talks to end the Quebec student crisis has Premier Jean Charestand Montreal Mayor G rald Tremblay worried about the financialimpact as Montreal preps for its lucrative Grand Prix race. Both politicians appealed Friday for "responsibility" on the partof demonstrators, saying protesters should leave Formula One fansalone and not harm stores, hotels and restaurants during thetourist-heavy event next weekend. Charest accused student groups of "hurting Quebecers" as they taketo the streets and expressed concern they would disrupt the GrandPrix, which brings millions of dollars to the province each year. "It's all well and good to protest against Jean Charest, to protestagainst the government," Charest said Friday while visiting asuburb west of Montreal. 'I'll do everything I can to ensure these events are a success' Montreal Mayor G rald Tremblay on summer festivals "But they're in the process of hurting Quebecers and the peoplefrom whom they're seeking support. I think they have to examinetheir consciences when it comes to their acts." Tremblay told journalists he was "very disappointed, very, very,very disappointed" in the collapse of negotiations between studentsand the province. With the Grand Prix about to rev up andMontreal's summer-long series of festivals getting into high gear,the mayor called for a smooth running of a "very important season." "I appeal to the maturity and sense of responsibility" ofprotesters to demonstrate without "causing harm to merchants,hotels and restaurateurs," Tremblay said. "I'll do everything I can to ensure these events are a success, butalso to ensure the safety of Montrealers." 39th straight night of protests The latest round of talks collapsed Thursday afternoon when Charest's education minister, Michelle Courchesne, declaredthe two sides had reached an "impasse." Around 10,000 people took to the streets of Montreal that night to decry the government's decision to give up onnegotiations.
