Focus Montreal introduces Montrealers to people who are shaping our community, bringing their stories into focus.
It airs on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. and at midnight.
Take a look at who we’re meeting this week on Focus Montreal:
Bill 10:
Hearings into the liberal government’s proposed health care reform, Bill 10, wrapped up this week. Since October the minister has heard from more than 50 groups, most of whom have serious concerns with the centralization of power in health care.
We talk to Lawyer Eric Maldoff, about how we all might be affected by Bill 10.
Fur debate:
Earlier this week the discussion around wearing fur lept back into the headlines after a landmark court decision. For the first time in Canada, a fur farmer was charged with six counts of criminal animal cruelty and neglect. The SPCA filmed horrific scenes last May after receiving a complaint about alleged cruelty on Jean-Luc Rodier’s farm South of Montreal. The SPCA said the charges relate to 90 foxes, 10,000 mink and two dogs held captive.
Sophie Gaillard, lawyer and campaign manager for the SPCA animal advocacy department, and Alan Hersovici executive Vice President of the fur council of Canada discuss the pros and cons of fur.
