The nurses union at the McGill University Health Centre is calling out budget cuts that it says will impact employees and care at the facility.
According to the Montreal Gazette, the Syndicat des Professionnelles en soins infirmiers et cardiorespiratoires du CUSM issued a statement Thursday saying that there is no clear explanation on how the budget cuts are being done.
President of the Syndicat, Denyse Joseph says the decisions appear to be based on cold calculations rather than quality of care.
However, the MUHC says the cuts were carefully weighed when decisions made and are confident that they will be able to offer the best quality care for patients.

A new registry may help see that 85 per cent of Quebecers have a family doctor by the end of December, 2017.
According to CBC News, the provincial government is launching an online database to help connect patients with family doctors.
The promise to have the majority of Quebec have family doctors was made in an agreement with the Federation de medecins omnipraticiens du Quebec last May.
While people in other databases will still keep their priority, the new registry will replace those that were put in place before Bill 20 abolished the other various services and health centres.
The registry can be found at gamf.gouv.qc.ca

The United Nations says that Boko Haram's use of child suicide bombers is rising, as they are forcing children as young as eight years old, and mostly girls, to die for their cause.
According to The Globe and Mail, the tactic comes as the extremist terror group tries to regain territory in Nigeria.
Known for its religious fear-mongering campaign, the group has been raiding schools and kidnapping children to use as soldiers.
A recent UN report says that one-fifth of the 150 suicide bombings recorded last year involved children.
The report also noted that this tactic has been one of the most horrific aspects of violence in Nigeria and West Africa.
