Charest meets with interim Haitian leader amid vocal protests (Quebec)

MONTREAL (CP) - Vocal protests greeted interim Haitian Prime Minister Gerard Latortue as he sat down with Quebec Premier Jean Charest today.

Latortue is meeting with Charest as part of his last visit to Canada as leader of the troubled Caribbean country. He met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Friday.

About 60 protesters gathered outside Charest's Montreal office, calling the premier's meeting with an unelected prime minister a slap in the face to democracy.

Quebec is home to some 75,000 Haitians, the largest Haitian community in Canada.
