Question 25653 — health professions

Summary

Ms. Jacqueline Dubois alerts the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the problem of territorial veterinary coverage. A good veterinary network is necessary for the maintenance and development of livestock farms. But today, while more and more veterinarians are putting an end to their agricultural activity (called "rural") to devote themselves solely to caring for domestic animals (called "canine" activity), Many farmers are faced with the impossibility of declaring a veterinarian for the proper functioning of their farm. Veterinarians pursuing a “rural” activity must, for their part, provide service over ever-larger territories. This problem, which continues to grow, has multiple causes: lack of remuneration for veterinary on-call duties (particularly sensitive issue during weekends), insufficiently supervised travel expenses, too strict separation between “rural” and “canine” activities, specifications perhaps too rigid for practicing “rural” activities, etc. She asks him to indicate what responses are being developed by his ministry to address the legitimate concerns of farmers and veterinarians, concerned about the future of livestock farming.
