OQLF has no business in Quebec operating rooms, QCGN says
QCGN Director General Sylvia Martin-Laforge was responding to a Montreal Gazette article today about an OQLF inspection scheduled for Montreal’s Santa Cabrini hospital.
“We thought former Quebec premier Lucien Bouchard had had the last word on language and health care in Quebec when he said in 1996: ‘when you go to the hospital and you’re in pain, you may need a blood test, but you certainly don’t need a language test,’ ” Martin-Laforge added. “Not according to the current government, apparently.”
