Parti Quebecois: Lachine Hospital

Health Minister Dept: Question: You're formerly the health minister in this province, that was a few years back but still, you have the Parti Quebecois party taking power and the health minister looking like he wants to pull the Lachine Hospital from the MUHC umbrella. Have you been following this, first of all, and what do you make of the government's move?, according to CBC. I'm quite associated with this file because when I was in office, I initiated the process that ultimately led to the integration of Lachine to MUHC and my successor Yves Bolduc completed the work there. The reason was very simple, this hospital was very isolated. It had a lot of difficulty in attracting and retaining a critical mass of physicians, being able to be there around the clock to manage the wards and the emergency room, and we could see no solution in the near midterm future and quebec Liberal Party leadership candidate Philippe Couillard spoke to Montreal's Daybreak ahead of the debates scheduled for Dec. 12. Couillard: Of course I've been following this. I think it's another example of a wrong decision taken for the wrong reason. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
