20 Oct 2022 - Present

The 2018 Quebec general election was held on October 1, 2018, to elect members to the National Assembly of Quebec. The election saw a landslide victory for the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) led by François Legault. The CAQ won 74 of 125 seats in the National Assembly which resulted in the party forming a majority government and unseating the incumbent Quebec Liberal Party from power.

The 2018 Quebec general election marked the first time the CAQ would form government. It was also the first election since 1966 that had been won by a party other than the Liberals or Parti Québécois. Legault is the province’s first nationalist centre-right premier since the Union Nationale left office in 1970.

2.12.18 - “A CAQ government intends […] to gradually deploy home hospitalization in all Quebec institutions by the end of 2026. Patients will be integrated into a virtual hospitalization unit where their health and well-being will be monitored by an interdisciplinary team (physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, rehabilitation professionals, etc.). Follow-up will be done at a distance, with home visits as needed. Of course, parents will have to meet specific criteria and give their consent to benefit from home hospitalization. […] [He promises that the] first five hospitalization at home units will be deployed in the Greater Montreal and National Capital regions by the end of 2023”

« Le gouvernement Legault annonce l’implantation, à compter de l’an prochain, de huit projets pilotes d’hospitalisation de patients à domicile dans le Grand Montréal et la région de Québec. Ces projets vitrines qui doivent libérer des lits dans les hôpitaux tout en assurant davantage de confort aux patients seront implantés dans l’ensemble des régions du Québec d’ici 2026, a annoncé la ministre déléguée à la Santé et aux Aînés, Sonia Bélanger. […] Le projet sera accessible aux personnes malades, mais qui ne sont pas dans un état critique. »
