Episode Details

The Parti Québécois is pushing to scrap Santé Québec, claiming it’s a bloated bureaucracy costing at least $40 million annually—and could save up to $100 million by decentralizing care and slashing wait times. But the current Health Minister fiercely defends the agency as essential for streamlining healthcare and breaking down silos, warning another overhaul would undo progress. Santé Québec echoes that, citing budget balance, improved surgical access, and reduced duplication. Meanwhile, the Liberals and Québec solidaire agree on regional decision-making but oppose abolition, fearing further instability in a system already under strain.
