Bill 10 ‘a catastrophe’ for English institutions, anglo group warns
By Peggy Curran, The Gazette
The future of hospitals such as St. Mary’s and the Jewish General in Montreal, Jeffrey Hale-Saint Brigid’s in Quebec City and Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins in the Eastern Townships — and the viability of the English-speaking communities that depend on them — will be at risk unless the Quebec government revamps its health reform legislation, warns a coalition of community groups.
“Bill 10 would be a catastrophe for the 22 recognized and designated public institutions it dismantles,” the Quebec Community Groups Network says in a brief to be presented to the National Assembly committee studying legislation to modify Quebec’s health and social services network Thursday morning.
