Bill 10

Bill 10

In a press briefing, Minister Dub specified that this ban on the use of private agencies and independent workers would be applied gradually:

  • By the end of 2024, in urban areas (e.g., Montral and Qubec City);
  • By the end of 2025, in the suburbs; and
  • By the end of 2026, in remote areas.

The Minister mentioned that the objective of this multi-phase plan is to:

  • Retain workers in the public system;
  • Attract workers currently working in the private sector; and
  • Convince people currently in training to join the public network.
 

What Issues Does this Bill Raise?

Bill 10's ban on using private workers in the public system does not guarantee a transition for those working in private agencies. In fact, a recent survey of private agency workers showed that 81% of them are unlikely to return to the public sector before retirement.

Today, private agencies provide essential support to ensure that Qubecers can receive health care throughout the network. Without their presence, waiting lists for surgery would be longer and care in seniors' residences would suffer greatly.
