In a co-authored op-ed, Daniel Jutras (Université de Montréal), Sophie D’Amours (Université Laval), Jean-Pierre Perreault (Université de Sherbrooke), and Deep Saini (McGill University) warn that Québec’s Bill 106 risks sidelining medical education and research by overlooking the role of universities and instructors. The authors pointed to signs that physicians may begin dropping teaching responsibilities as early as next semester due to shifting financial incentives. They argue that medical faculties must be directly involved in reform discussions and call for mechanisms—such as adjusted funding models or teaching-specific incentives—to ensure that research and education are not devalued or overlooked.
