It would seem that a 33% raise over 10 years isn't enough for the association/federation/whatever representing Quebec's 8000 specialist doctors who are refusing to negotiate and are applying pressure tactics until the ministry gives them a 44% pay increase to "catch up to the Canadian average."
Kudos both to the increasingly exasperated Quebec Minister of Health for telling them "This [our society] is not a buffet where you can pick what you like and skip what you don't like." Kudos also to the team at Radio-Canada (french CBC) for using and reusing this truthful soundbite in their lead-up to the news segment.
Hopefully enough of these specialist doctors will get the message so that they go back to work and get people off their waiting lists so everybody can get back on with their lives as happy productive citizens, respectful of one another.
