Bill 15 will be ‘the CAQ government’s Waterloo,’ town hall told
More than 150 individuals pack a town hall at Dawson College last night to express grave concerns about the potential impact of Bill 15. This sweeping proposed overhaul of the Quebec medical system would create a single, all-powerful Santé Québec to govern and operate health care throughout the province. “Command and control by a government is always a danger to democracy,” states Eva Ludvig, president of the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN). She suggests this may be the real motivation behind Bill 15, while reiterating concerns that this legislation would erode access to health care in English, especially in regions of Quebec like the Eastern Townships and the Gaspé.
