The Liberal Quebec government has received sheer criticism after it passed a health care reform bill, which promises to save $220 million per year, into law at 12:15 a.m. on Saturday. According to Health Minister, Gaetan Barrette, the Liberals are steadfast in defending the legislation, despite the growing criticism, because “we want to go back to zero deficits.”
One of the primary critics of the bill, opposition Parti Quebecois, have alleged that the bill puts too much power into the hands of the provincial Health Ministry. According to PQ Health Critic, Diane Lamarre, “Barrette is in a hurry to make it accepted but in fact he just wants the power that goes with that.” Whereas, The Federation of Health Care Specialists’ Dr. Diane Francoeur also highlighted during a press conference in Montreal on Friday that “instead of sitting with us and discussing ways to change the system, I think the health minister has shown today that this may be the new trend of the Liberal Party: ‘we have a majority we don’t need your opinion and if you don’t understand we’ll give you a gag order.”
Another colleague, Dr. Louis Dahine, also alleged that “it means that no matter how much we want to help and contribute to the debate and improve the situation in which we work every day it’s going to end up in the government saying ‘it’s going to be that other way,’ and that’s very unfortunate and worrisome.”
