Over 260 Quebec doctors apply for Ontario licences in weeks following Bill 2 (www.cbc.ca)

Over 250 Quebec doctors are applying to be able to work in Ontario, according to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. The surge of applications is happening in the wake of a controversial bill reforming doctors’ pay, which was passed on Oct. 25 in Quebec.

In just over two weeks, the CPSO saw over 13 times more applicants than the 19 total received from June 1 to Oct. 22 this year, according to data provided in a statement to CBC Toronto.

Quebec’s Bill 2, which is set to take effect in the new year, links doctors' compensation to performance targets relating to the number of patients they care for. It also imposes fines of up to $500,000 per day on doctors who take "concerted action" to challenge the government's policies.

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure; the more a quantitative indicator is used for decision-making, the more it corrupts the process it is intended to monitor.

It also imposes fines of up to $500,000 per day on doctors who take "concerted action" to challenge the government's policies.

So, collective bargaining is out then.
