The new hospital is scheduled to open in 2034.

A journalist asks the Minister of Health, Christian Dubé, what he proposes in the meantime for the citizens of Outaouais.

2034 is late. I always said 2032, and I want to respect this deadline. We will keep our objective. We’re getting better at how we build.

Several hospitals in Quebec have just one route. The idea will be to optimize configurations for ambulances, customers and deliveries. It is not the single axis that is the issue.

Mathieu Lacombe on the subject of the service point which will also be built in downtown Gatineau:

This is excellent news for the city center, not only in terms of accessibility and traffic. This will allow us to consolidate services. Patients will be ready to be seen in 2026.

It became impossible to carry out the project on Edmonton Street. We had to redo some work. We are here today with all the rigor behind the tieexplained the minister responsible for the Outaouais region, Mathieu Lacombe.

Asticou, it’s an excellent [emplacement] of compromise. It’s central, even though it’s not in the city center. It is very close to a training center, such as the Cégep de l’Outaouais. We could create a training center to find people to work in this hospital.
