The Public Record

Philip O’Brien’s 2002 speech to the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal.

A year ago in this space, I wrote about the importance of establishing and maintaining an informed dialogue about the McGill University Health Centre’s new hospital project.

The Régie régionale has been a consistent supporter of the MUHC, both vocally and in fiscal terms, from the project’s inception.

"The MUHC’s move to the Glen has to happen for the overall evolution of our city’s health care. I support the construction of their new facility because in order for a network of health and social services to work, all the components must be given the tools they need."

Réjean Plante supports the creation of the Glen project because it addresses the needs of one of the country’s foremost university hospitals while accruing benefits to his hospital.

A medical facility is not so much about structure and equipment, it is more about people and the development of trust in relationships.
