Quebec paramedics see pay cut for COVID-19 vaccination, testing
In an email to Global News, the press attachée to Health Minister Christian Dubé, Antoine de la Durantaye, writes: “We are no longer in a hygiene or sanitation health emergency. We therefore, have to respect the job title of each of our professionals.”The JeContribue website states that the program is “not looking for candidates at this time” in the vaccination efforts against COVID-19.
An online organization that tracks pre-hospital care in real time warns that the government’s decision could create a health risk to the public the next time it calls on paramedics to help. “I think that the real danger is that paramedics won’t contribute anymore,” Hal Newman of The Last Ambulance told Global News.
