MONTREAL, Nov. 14, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - On Monday, dozens of community and institutional leaders will take a stand demanding significant changes to Bill 10. This sweeping legislation to amend the health care act would eliminate community volunteers from the governance of our health and social service system; fatally compromise the bilingual status of our institutions; and exclude these community institutions from the critical role they play in the vitality of the communities they serve.
