Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette confirmed today that the expansion and renovation project at Charles-Le Moyne Hospital has reached a crucial milestone and can now move forward.
The premier was accompanied by Marjorie Michel, Canada's Minister of Health; Sonia Bélanger, Minister of Health and Minister Responsible for Seniors and Caregivers; Shirley Dorismond, Member of the National Assembly for Marie Victorin; and Jean Bernard Émond, Member of the National Assembly for Richelieu.
The project, estimated at nearly $700 million, will provide the people of the Montérégie region with modern facilities better suited to current needs and will tangibly improve access to safe, high-quality care. Of this amount, $28.2 million will come from the Build Communities Strong Fund (BCSF), under an agreement between the governments of Canada and Quebec.
Construction will begin shortly, and the new facilities are scheduled to be fully operational in 2032.
