Quebec government aims to hold more family doctors accountable with upcoming bill

The Quebec government is expected to table a bill today aimed at bringing doctors into line. It would introduce "collective responsibility and accountability" to improve access to health care in the province, according to a media invitation from the office of Health Minister Christian Dubé. He is scheduled to present the bill in further detail and take questions from journalists at a news conference at 11:30 a.m. ET. The proposed law comes in the middle of negotiations to renew the framework agreement for doctors. On Saturday, the Fédération des médecins omnipraticiens du Québec (FMOQ) rejected Quebec's offer to change their compensation model. The Legault government wants 25 per cent of family doctors' compensation to be tied to their performance. It also wants to introduce colour codes for patients. During a media availability on Wednesday, Premier François Legault said tabling the bill would be "non-negotiable." "We will never have an effective health-care network until all Quebecers are taken care of by family medicine groups, starting with family doctors," he told reporters. Legault added that he believes "two-thirds of doctors take care of Quebecers, but there is one-third who need to do more." Dubé said in a social media post published on Wednesday that he is working to ensure "100 per cent of Quebecers" are cared for by the summer of 2026. He added that government negotiations with Quebec medical federations are ongoing.

They're not alone in sharing concerns over a proposed colour-coded system that would identify patients by priority and redistribute family doctors to the most vulnerable ones.
