flag Quebec medical students vote for unlimited strike over bill restricting pay and training autonomy.

flag Medical students at all four Quebec medical schools have voted to authorize an unlimited general strike over Bill 2, a new law linking doctors’ pay to performance targets and increasing government control over medical training. flag The legislation, which imposes potential daily fines of up to $20,000 for coordinated actions, has drawn widespread criticism for restricting professional autonomy and freedom of association. flag The provincial medical student federation and specialists’ group have launched legal challenges to suspend parts of the law, while Social Services Minister Lionel Carmant resigned amid backlash. flag Though Université Laval students cannot officially endorse strikes, they support non-disruptive protests. flag The controversy has intensified debate over government oversight in healthcare and the future of medical education in Quebec.
