Quebec government reaches agreement in principle with family doctors
QUÉBEC — Quebec has reached an agreement in principle with its family doctors.
The province has also agreed to postpone the application of contentious legislation designed to impose a new remuneration system on doctors.
The Fédération des médecins omnipraticiens du Québec says the two sides agreed to the deal after a negotiation blitz and a meeting between its president and Premier François Legault.
The group says it welcomes the agreement in principle, which it described as an important step in a difficult context.
The details of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Health Minister Christian Dubé confirmed the government will table a bill to push back the application of Bill 2 until Feb. 28. in order to allow amendments to be made.
