Last weekend, Quebec passed new legislation that would impose a new contract on doctors, who have been in negotiations with the provincial government since March, 2023. Known as Bill 2, it sets out targets that Quebec doctors must meet in order to achieve the government’s health care goals, including access to primary care for all Quebeckers by January, 2027.
The catch? If doctors don’t meet these targets, they can be penalized by having up to 15 per cent of their pay clawed back.
André Picard, Globe health reporter and columnist, is on the show to break down why Bill 2 is drawing controversy, how doctors are responding to it, and what that means for patient care in Quebec.
