I fully understand your concerns, and I share them. As far as I understand, unless the pressures are strong enough, they are asking for a separate board of directors for Ste. Anne's Hospital. I think that would be the best way to guarantee that the organization of health care remains unchanged.
However, it seems that the Government of Quebec wants to stick to its vision by not authorizing a separate board of directors. However, I think they can rely on us. We are ready to help and support them in achieving their goal.
You are right, there are other institutions in Quebec that do not operate like the others. One example from the other extreme is Shriners Hospital. It operates in a different way. I think that different client bases must be handled differently.
We will support them in their fight to keep the current health-care structure. As for the separate board of directors, I don't think the Government of Quebec will allow it.
