The federal government does not have jurisdiction over hospitals, including their construction, openings and closures. This is rather a provincial matter.
Thus, the initiative put into place does not take this issue into account. First and foremost, the initiative aims to create networks that will let us bring to the table provincial representatives, health professionals, institutions and communities, so that they can decide together how they can best improve the health services offered to the people.
They do not discuss hospital openings in these networks.
