December 1, 2014

(Montreal Gazette) – Last call. As the head of the federation for Quebec’s medical specialists, Gaétan Barrette had criticized the province’s costly but popular in vitro fertilization program as an “open bar.” Now Quebec’s health minister, Barrette tabled a bill Friday to cut all the province’s publicly-funded, assisted-procreation services, except for artificial insemination.
