The Premier also mentioned that the government will proceed with a vast decentralization of the health network to the regions of Quebec.
To reduce its dependence on private employment agencies, the Legault government also intends to provide the public health network with its own bank of worker candidates.
“We must never again depend on private agencies,” insisted the Prime Minister.

Expected results
On Tuesday, the oppositions called on the government to deliver results.
“Are there going to be changes in relation to the labor shortage and recognize the problem and propose concrete solutions?” wonders the leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, Dominique Anglade. Is there going to be a real recognition of climate issues and their impacts? ”
“The economy and pride, that’s all well and good, but that won’t mean anything if the planet dies,” dropped the co-spokesperson for Quebec solidaire, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois. Prosperity is important, but it will be impossible on a dead planet. ”
“It takes consistency, vision and courage to name these things, rather than making promotional videos and advertising,” said the leader of the Parti Quebecois, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon.
