Native Friendship Centres say they’re struggling to ensure money to expand clinics
As the Quebec government continues to promote budgetary rigour, a group of Native Friendship Centres in the province says it has yet to get a clear response on whether they will see funding for their Indigenous health clinics renewed.
Their concern echoes the findings of a Quebec ombudsman report released earlier this month that said budgetary restrictions could lead to setbacks in implementing the recommendations from the province’s Viens Commission, which looked into the mistreatment of Indigenous people in Quebec — including the calls to action that concern health care.
