Premier Fréchette confirms $700M for Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital project
The plan includes land purchases, infrastructure relocation and a parking garage as the province moves the long-delayed project toward construction.
- On Thursday, Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette announced $700 million in funding to modernize the aging Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital in Montreal's East End.
- The hospital has faced years of complaints regarding rodents, power failures, and deteriorating conditions, prompting advocacy groups like the HMR Coalition to demand stable funding and a clear construction timeline.
- Nearly $400 million will acquire three properties and relocate infrastructure, while $300 million supports the design phase, with the government targeting first patient admissions by 2036.
- Dr. Marc Brosseau, president of the CMDPSF, said the announcement reflects "a genuine commitment" to progress, with excavators expected on site in coming weeks and the first call for tenders issued in early May.
- The announcement arrives six months before the provincial election as the Coalition Avenir Québec government struggles in the polls; despite the funding, the expansion remains officially in the project planning phase of the Quebec Infrastructure Plan.
