You’d think if you build a fancy billion dollar hospital you’d make a helipad on the roof, if only to future proof it. Building it after the fact will be more expensive, but yeah now SNC-Lavalin doesn’t have to foot the bill.
Even the heart institute doesn’t have a helipad and is also being extended/renovated, you’d think heart transplants would benefit from it.
Maybe we get trauma helicopters too in Quebec. There was a test a long time ago, but they were never implemented. If you don’t have them you don’t have to pay for them, huge savings on the public health costs.

See the CBC report from January: Quebec is still the only province without a helicopter ambulance system. What’s the holdup?. And retired paramedic Hal Newman has done a great job of tracking and explaining the gaps in Quebec’s pre-hospital care atThe Last Ambulance.
