In my humble opinion, the financial difficulties are just an excuse. To my knowledge, administering health care at Ste. Anne's Hospital does not cost any more than it does at Shriners Hospital or the McGill University Health Centre. Health care is structured, and money is set aside to meet the needs.
Oh, I understand, you are asking about the Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de Montréal, Montreal's health and social services agency. That agency receives money from the health department for the whole region. Normally, it is responsible for health care in the whole region. Therefore, there should normally be no reduction in the health care currently provided to veterans at Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.
