Three out of four Quebecers are dissatisfied with the health management of the Legault government

With fears of the pandemic of the past, nearly three out of four Quebecers (73%) say they are dissatisfied with the management of the health system by the provincial government, according to the results of an Angus Reid poll, released last week. .

According to the sounding, Quebecers have never been so dissatisfied with the management of this area since the beginning of the CAQ mandate. Even a majority who plan to vote to offer the current government a second term (57%) say they are dissatisfied with health management. This percentage decreases to 25% for those who plan to vote for the Parti Québécois, 18% for Québec Solidaire, 6% for the Liberals and 3% of people who plan to vote for the PCQ.
“Health is something that is dear to Canadians from coast to coast,” said Angus Reid Institute president Shachi Kurl in an interview with CTV News. “And they are deeply unhappy with the way their provincial governments are handling this critical file.”
The survey also reveals that across the country, Canadians consider Health to be among the top three provincial issues. Only the rise in the cost of living is more worrying. In Quebec, the climate crisis comes after these two issues.
“Provincial governments are signaling through their words and actions (such as the lifting of COVID-19 related mandates) that the pandemic is over,” added Ms. Kurl. “It is therefore not surprising that their constituents are beginning to expect primary medical care at least as reliable and accessible as it was before the pandemic, if not more.”
