In the same bill, the government gives itself the sole right to decide which special measures to maintain until December 31, 2022, without having to justify its decisions to anyone.

For decades, the FIQ has been invited by all successive governments to the various press events and the answer is always the same: thank you, but no thank you!

We welcome but are annoyed by the government’s decision to extend until at least May 14, the application of the various “COVID premiums” that were supposed to end on April 16.

A single observation can be made after reading the 2022-2023 budget presented today: the public health network will remain very vulnerable in the face of unforeseen events, due to a lack of strong measures to attract and retain healthcare professionals.
