Health: Quebec is “doing a very good job” of data collection, says Trudeau

JERBA | Health Minister Christian Dubé “is already doing a very good job in terms of data collection,” Justin Trudeau suggested the day after a brief interview with François Legault, in which he discussed federal health transfers, among other things.

The Prime Minister of Canada even thinks that the other provinces “could be inspired by what certain provinces (like Quebec) are doing in terms of data”.

“Not so the federal government can verify that everyone is doing their homework,” Mr. Trudeau assured, but so that all Canadians can benefit from the best ways to manage and manage the supply of health care services.

“I find it encouraging,” said François Legault later, taking stock of his participation in the 18th Francophonie Summit.

Legault is awaiting an offer

But Mr. Legault, who says he’s open to sharing his data with the other provinces using Ottawa and Quebec technology, is awaiting a concrete offer from the federal government.

“We haven’t seen a proposal with an amount yet. […] We are still awaiting the first proposal from the federal government,” stressed Mr Legault.

Ten days ago, François Legault repeated that “Justin Trudeau thinks he’s better than Christian Dubé”. He responded to the points raised by Ottawa in a context in which Quebec is demanding another $6 billion in federal transfers to meet its healthcare spending, while promising tax cuts to Quebecers and giving them checks to fight inflation.
