This was the observation raised by former Minister of Health Gaétan Barrette during a panel on the matter at the LCN in mid-August, and which the current incumbent in the provincial government “agreed with” this Thursday. Mr. With comments by Barrett.

“I don’t always agree with Dr. Barrett, but I absolutely agree with these points,” said Mr. Dube notes. “It gives you my perspective.”

Mr. Barrett revealed on August 13. Without FIQ’s approval, the government finds itself with a very limited number of candidates.

“It is sad that FIQ has asked us to put an end to agencies [privées] Two years ago. We made the bills, we made the regulations, they don’t exist today. “I’m definitely not comfortable with that,” Minister Dubey said in an interview.

However, Mr. Trump said he and Treasury Board Chair Sonia Lebel had “a strategy” the details of which were not disclosed by the health minister. Dubey assures. A drastic remedy such as a special law.

“He leaves goat and cabbage”

According to him, Caden Barrett “welcomes” Christian Dube’s comments in a segment. The Joust who followed the interview.

“This is the first time that Christian Dubey has dared to say things,” notes the panelist. “We know he has a very conciliatory approach: he leaves the goat and the cabbage, and I respect that in politics. [parce qu’]We can’t do everything.”

But the political analyst stresses the urgency of the situation on the North Bank. Because it has not signed a collective agreement.

“The government – I know this from a reliable source – offered to dissolve the collective agreement of the flying groups to do the rest of the negotiations separately and the FIQ refused. The result: quality of care problems on the North Shore, Abitibi and soon in the Montreal region,” reports Mr. Barrett. “People will know tomorrow morning. It’s time to fix this thing.”

This afternoon, the province of Quebec was forced to postpone an October 20 deadline to stop using private agencies to fill the need for health workers in its hospitals.

“Today, I saw a minister who took a step that I have never taken before,” said Mr. Barrett notes. “Inside, I’m sure he’s angrier than that, but at some point, if the FIQ thinks they’re going to win the battle they’re “tough” by jeopardizing the quality of care, at some point, people will get tired of it, and something else will happen.

“FIQ will no longer keep this weapon before the government”

Columnist Yasmine Abdelfadel also believes the government is at an impasse and is forced to postpone the end of the use of private healthcare institutions.

“Obviously, no one is happy to learn that we have to depend on private companies for another six months,” the host reminds QUB Radio. “That being said, we cannot set a time frame after which we will find ourselves when we are endangering people’s health. [moins] Services […]We already know this is important.

“On that date, FIQ used it as a deadline to put pressure on the government to settle all costs before that date,” he adds. “Now, we are pushing it back and the FIQ will no longer have this weapon in front of the government.”

Former PQ MP Stéphane Bédard is leaning in the same direction as his colleagues. According to him, the situation in which the FIQ finds itself in these negotiations “makes the union worse.”

“Can FIQ’s Levels Still Resonate With Demographics?” He asks. “I don’t think so.”

However, Mr. Bedard said confidently.

“There is fertile land. “The minister is giving himself time to say, ‘We have to find a solution,’ but the pressure is on one side, and that’s not on the side of the government,” notes the former politician.
