Thank you, Madam Chair.
I will start by admitting that I had never heard of health care co-operatives prior to an unfortunate incident that happened a few years ago. The Quebec Minister of Health asked RAMQ to investigate some allegations. In fact, 75% of health co-ops were making people pay to get access to a doctor, which is illegal. I would like to hear what you have to say about that situation.
I would also like to know what the real difference is between a group of family doctors—a pilot project that was started in Quebec—and health care co-ops.
