The President of the Treasury Board, Sonia LeBel, states that this is a principle that is fully justified.
As part of the ongoing negotiations, Quebec proposes to link part of the remuneration of family physicians to their performance.
After years of paying family physicians for the act, Quebec wants to change the rules of the game: a quarter of their remuneration would be linked to the achievement of performance indicators, such as the care of vulnerable patients and the presence of CHSLDs.
The Treasury Board publishes details of its offer to the Federation of General Practitioners.
