Why Are Quebec Doctors Trying to Work in Ontario?
- Since Oct. 23, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario reported over 250 Quebec doctors are applying to work in Ontario following Bill 2's Oct. 25 passage.
- Amid legal challenges and federation pushback, Quebec's Bill 2 links doctors' pay to patient targets and allows fines up to $500K per day for 'concerted action', prompting many physicians to reconsider practicing in Quebec.
- In just over two weeks the CPSO recorded over 13 times the 19 applicants from June 1 to Oct. 22, with more than half being family physicians and others in pediatrics, radiology, anesthesiology.
- Several physicians have applied to Ontario hospitals, and dozens have resigned doctors including Dr. Trevor Hennessey, who resigned last week and is considering moving to Ontario where he is certified.
- With about 2.5 million Ontarians lacking a family doctor, public demonstrations and court actions have followed Bill 2's passage, including about 13,000 rallying at Bell Centre, Montreal, and legal challenges by federations representing Quebec physicians.
