Despite numerous attempts to try to stay the course, the Coalition Avenir Québec government has no choice and must back down on the choice of the announced site to accommodate the future hospital.
TVA Gatineau-Ottawa has learned exclusively that the CAQ must reassess all sites to accommodate the new university hospital center.
The decision arouses numerous reactions and seems to go against the discourse made publicly by the government in recent months.
The Quebec government maintains that analyzes have identified a significant quantity of methane in the quadrilateral located in the sector of Boulevard de la Carrière and Rue d’Edmonton.
In an interview with TVA Gatineau-Ottawa, Minister Mathieu Lacombe admitted that the decision to restart the analysis process was not taken lightly.

“The work is progressing and there are problems that arise and there are challenges that arise before us,” says the minister responsible for the Outaouais region.
However, in recent weeks, members of the government refused to mention that the option of reanalyzing the sites was being considered.
However, the government claims to be fully aware of the difficulty of the question of expropriations, but the process is proving more complicated than anticipated.
He cites in particular difficulties related to the movement of telecommunications infrastructure, which represents a major issue on the schedule.
The CAQ assures, however, that the ultimate objective is to avoid a delay in order to deliver the regional hospital center as quickly as possible.
“As the minister responsible for the Outaouais region, the commitment we made is to deliver a hospital for all residents of the region and to do it as quickly as possible,” said Mr. Lacombe. “We need to look at these plan Bs.”
