Faced with the advanced state of dilapidation of many public schools, CHSLD and hospitals, the question arises. Ditto for the umpteenth postponement of the modernization, however urgent of the Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital (HMR).
Due to a simple storm, he is even a victim of a major power outage, non -functional generators and shattered windows. Bush medicine of the worst species.
Unacceptable, the dilapidation of multiple infrastructures, including HMR, goes to the annoying status of indefensible.
Without a joke …
Under high pressure, the Minister of Health Christian Dubé now makes the observation that kills: “I cannot believe that you cannot find the money just to leave the parking.” Without a joke?
Under the government, public money has however swept over Northvolt, the Saaqcliq fiasco, futile studies for a 3e link that will never be done, etc.
More than $ 7 billion was also wasted in tax cuts and checks sent directly to Quebecers. Wasted because they did little to improve their quality of life while depriving the public treasury of the same amount for highly necessary work and services.
-That the deficit is also close to $ 14 billion no longer surprises anyone.
All responsible
That said, the blatant lack of maintenance of public infrastructure in Quebec is a shared work, all governments of which since the dogmatic compressions of the 1990s are responsible.
I repeat it: we are governed here by a distressing culture of the “disposable after use”.
In contrast, in France, as elsewhere in Europe, hospitals however founded several centuries ago still hold perfectly because they were maintained and renovated with meticulous or rebuilt when necessary.
What about HMR? Founded as recently as in 1971 of the merger of two hospitals created in the 1950s, like so many others across Quebec, it fell into ruins after only a few decades of existence. Look for the error …
