To MNA Bussière and CAQ cohorts,

I am taking a stance on Law 2 and this is my response to you. I was once very proud to live in a province that provided good and efficient health care for all citizens no matter your income or your status. But with the problems of provincially imposed language barriers, the cutbacks on the services, and to now compound these woes by pressuring doctors to take on more patients, it is further eroding the quality of care, if you are lucky enough to have a doctor, by forcing this mass exodus of our professional healthcare workers to other provinces.

Throughout time, medicine has continuously progressed forward where its marvels through science and trials have saved and helped countless lives. 

The doctors and nurses who enter these fields of work do so for their love and passions of improving people’s health and lives, while working tirelessly to achieve these goals. 

This Law 2 is a step backwards. It offers no progression. It puts lives in danger. This Law 2 is a third-world solution in a first-world country. To expel Quebec doctors through futile implementations and to bring healthcare workers from other countries to fill the void is so unsound, unpatriotic and insulting to an already established group of Quebec healthcare professionals. This Law 2 also discourages future doctors, professionals and nurses from entering this highly valued work. 

A diminished public health care may in the future lead to more private health costs which only benefits the monied people. This will lead to a decline in the health and wellness of the majority of Quebec citizens and taxpayers. 

It’s we the people who foot the bill, so let’s be heard! 

We should be giving thanks and praise to our professionals, not grief and impossible increased workloads. 

Sincerely concerned, 

Claude Schnupp, Kazabazua
