Health Minister Christian Dubé’s Bill 2 faces its first real test in court Tuesday.
The Quebec Federation of Medical Students (FMEQ), which brings together medical student associations from the universities of Montreal, McGill, Laval and Sherbrooke, is asking the Superior Court to suspend the law while the court decides on the merits of the case.
The Federation objects to the provisions of the law that prohibit concerted actions aimed at harming or hindering the delivery of courses, and to the severe penalties that accompany such actions. Although these provisions target physicians themselves, the FMEQ believes the law is written in such a way as to also target concerted actions by student associations.
