Medical Specialists Ratify Agreement with Quebec Government
The 125 delegates accepted an agreement that includes an 11% pay increase over five years and ends a three-year dispute, the federation said.
- On Thursday, the FMSQ announced its 125 delegates ratified a new agreement with the provincial government by an 86 per cent margin, ending a long-standing contract dispute with Quebec.
- Negotiations between the FMSQ and the Treasury Board lasted three years, centered on working conditions under Bill 2, which ties physician pay to performance targets and created tension with the CAQ.
- While specific terms remain pending, Radio-Canada reported the deal includes an 11 per cent pay increase over five years, plus a 1.5 per cent increase in department head bonuses retroactive to 2019.
- The FMSQ previously sought a 14.5 per cent increase to match the deal Legault granted to family doctors after dismissing a 17 per cent demand as "unreasonable."
- Pressure tactics utilized by the union ceased on Monday following the tentative agreement, resolving an impasse that had forced many specialists to seek licenses in Ontario.
