Quebec government reaches agreement in principle with family doctors

The Quebec government will suspend Bill 2 until Feb. 28 to address physician concerns and improve family doctor remuneration, aiming to strengthen front-line care for patients.

  • On Thursday, the Quebec government announced it reached an agreement in principle with family doctors and will suspend Law 2 until Feb. 28, tabling a bill by Friday to postpone it.
  • After an intensive negotiation blitz, FMOQ president Dr. Marc-André Amyot met Premier François Legault as the government pursued changes to doctors' pay to strengthen front-line family care for Quebeckers.
  • Details of the tentative agreement were not immediately disclosed, and the FMOQ said it is satisfied and welcomed it as an important step while webinars on Friday will first present the deal to family doctors.
  • Officials said the agreement aims to curb physician departures and Premier François Legault called the outcome a 'win' for Quebeckers and family physicians.
  • If favourably received by FMOQ members, Law 2 could mark the most significant shift in family physicians' pay since the Medicare era, with results expected soon.
