It's great to see that a new hospital will be built, but if there's not enough staff, it might be basically unusable just like the Hull and Gatineau hospitals.

Is this because Ontario's pharmacare covers certain medications that Quebec's pharmacare does not?
I hear all the gripes about healtcare in Gatineau, and 95% of them are related to either the difficulty of getting a family doctor, or emergency room wait times.
I have never heard anyone complain about pharmacare.
