The FMRQ at the parliamentary commission on the broadening of the nurse practitioners’ role : yes, but with a more comprehensive framework

This is what the FMRQ emphasized at the November 12 parliamentary commission in Quebec City studying Bill 43 amending the Nurses’ Act and other legislative provisions to improve access to health services.
