Peut-être maintenant le ministre @cdube_sante comprend pourquoi notre pétition () demande plus de consultations sur ce projet de loi défectueux.
Après que le gouvernement a insisté sur le fait que le #PL15 n’affecterait pas les droits linguistiques des minorités, nous n’avons pas compris pourquoi il cherchait à ajouter cette arme à son arsenal.

Le @QCGN acceuille la volonté du ministre @cdube_sante d'abandonner le projet d'amendement malavisé visant à donner le pouvoir à Santé Québec de supprimer l’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en anglais.

After the gov't insisted Bill 15 would not affect minority-language rights, we did not understand why it sought to add this weapon in its arsenal.
Perhaps now @cdube_sante understands why our petition () demands more consultation on this flawed bill.
@QCGN welcomes Minister @cdube_sante's willingness to abandon misguided proposed amendment to give power under #Bill15 to Santé Québec regarding access to health and social services in English.
