Global News published this video item, entitled “Indigenous Services minister questions union statement on Jocelyn Ottawa allegations” – below is their description.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Marc Miller questioned the nurse’s union, Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec (FIQ), on Friday over their statement regarding the allegations from Jocelyn Ottawa against the nurses who were tasked with treating her.
Ottawa claimed she was asked to sing in Atikamekw and that they referred to her as “Joyce” – in reference to Joyce Echaquan, an Atikamekw woman who filmed herself being mocked by health-care workers as she lay dying in a Joliette, Que., hospital in September.
The nurses allegedly made the comments last week in the same city, located about 60 kilometres northeast of Montreal. The health authority had initially suspended the two employees, and late Tuesday it said they had been fired.
Miller said the union’s claim that it was a “misunderstanding” did not “make sense.”
