Veterans' hospital employees protest transfer
Employees at the Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue Veterans' hospital expressed their disdain against the transfer of the hospital into Quebec's hands on Thursday.
According to CTV News, 650 unionized workers expressed their concern over what the transfer will do to their jobs, salaries and benefits.
The union wants the continuity of care to its current patients who are veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces. They've also expressed the possibility of opening up the hospital to civilians as baby boomers continue to age.
The federal government wants to transfer the hospital to the province to ensure the best possible care for their patients.
The switch is expected to happen on September 30th.
