COMMUNIQUÉ
Resident doctors are ready to reshape the health system, to make it more efficient for the benefit of the population and more stimulating for the professionals who work there. But for that, it is still necessary to give them a place in their own right without condition of unfair or discriminatory practice as, very unfortunately, the government proposes with in particular article 392 of the bill and other provisions which limit the professional autonomy of physicians.
Le Devoir has published the findings of a large-scale study by independent researchers whose conclusions confirm the FMRQ’s worst fears about a pedagogical reform implemented in our medical faculties by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) starting in 2017.
Bill 22 proposes nothing less than to resurrect the Law promoting access to the services of family physicians and medical specialists. The Law A-2.2 which has dispositions that have never been put into effect and for good reason, as it is the legislative result of former minister Gaétan Barrette’s bill 20. This is what the FMRQ has, among other issues, has expressed at the February 1, 2022 Parliamentary Commission on Bill 22 – aiming at increasing the supply of primary care services by general practitioners and to improve the management of this supply.
