Jean Charest is wrong to blame the PQ responsibility for everything that goes wrong in the health system, while he is in command for nearly six years. His government has not even been able to steer the construction project CHUM!
It remains the responsibility of the PQ - and Pauline Marois itself - is indisputable in the crucial area of medical and nursing staff.
The decision to retire thousands of professionals in the healthcare network was taken when his predecessor Jean Rochon was in office, but Ms. Marois then took over. However, contrary to what she says today, this devastating operation was not necessary to eliminate the deficit.
Refer us at the time. Premier Lucien Bouchard has launched the fight against the deficit. To do so, he needs the support of unions. Which, of course, will negotiate their support. Like elsewhere federations of doctors, who prefer to be offered up to the golden retirement rather than agree to cut back on their remuneration.
Initially, there was no question of providing health care professionals these "golden handshakes". The minister Rochon was opposed and wanted the "downsizing" of the public offering the health sector. This was without counting Gerald Larose, then president of the CSN, which had its entries with Mr. Bouchard. Mr. Larose held Mordicus that unionized health can rely on the same tender. And Bouchard failed, causing the terrible blow haemorrhage which we suffer today.
This is the story of a glorious little decision that Ms. Marois trying to pretend it was an inevitable surgery.

His personal responsibility was mixed as it has qu'hériter this case. In fact, she did not even need to exclaim "if it were to start again, I referring (and then contradict the next day) because it did not initiate this decision.
But it has diligently participated in the operation, judging by the revelations of Jacques-A. Plamondon, the former rector of the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivieres who told Wednesday's La Presse meeting occurred on November 21 1997 between the rectors and Ms. Marois, then Minister of Education.
"To the astonishment of Rectors, he writes, the Minister opened the meeting by saying there are too many nurses in Quebec, and that therefore it calls on universities that offer training programs in nursing d 'close admissions. The President of the Conference of Rectors he pointed out that this measure would have a high cost for universities, and recalls that under their autonomy, they remain responsible for the quota. "
The minister reply by saying that it will not hesitate to use its right to intervene to block access to the labor market for new Bachelor in nursing. "Universities have no choice," says Plamondon, they should comply, even if they felt that there was abuse of power. "
Students who at the time could have been admitted to one of four university nursing programs, rather than 70 years as Marois says about prematurely retired nurse, would be in their thirties today ! That would equal more nurses.
Mr. Plamondon says that once passed to the Ministry of Health, Ms. Marois had "launched a cry of alarm about the shortage of nurses, demonstrating that the dangers that the system was run health policy unfortunate dry basin resources was known to the ministry. " However, some time later, while she was Minister of Finance, Ms. Marois would deny universities the funds necessary to reactivate the training in nursing.
To this charge, Ms. Marois said she had only to comply with a recommendation of the Order of Nurses, who felt that there was a surplus of nurses. The explanation wrong, because the Order, in its opinion at the time, stated that the nurses were trained in college who were in surplus, not those with a university education.
