The numbers also show that a majority are more likely to turn to private care services, which tend to be faster.
The survey, produced in collaboration with the Montreal Economic Institute, shows that the rate is even lower for women: only 43% of them express their satisfaction.
The least satisfied provinces include the Atlantic provinces overall at 25%, followed by Manitoba and Saskatchewan (34% each).
Quebec is the province where residents feel that there is too much bureaucracy in the healthcare system, that the spending rate is unsustainable over the long term, or that more decentralization should be sought.
The poll also alludes to the “mini-hospitals” proposed by Minister Christian Dubé’s recent reform, with a 70% approval rating among Quebecers.
Just like a similar survey in 2022, 52% of Canadians agree that private network access should be extended to more people.
