Maisons des aînés : la ministre Bélanger prête à arrêter des projets trop dispendieux
AI Article Summary

Sonia Bélanger, the Quebec Minister responsible for Seniors, is considering halting overly expensive elder care home projects due to rising costs. The average construction cost per room is reported to be $800,000, but some projects exceed $1 million per room. A meeting will be held to review all ongoing projects, and Bélanger has previously stopped projects due to high costs. She emphasizes the need for adequate healthcare infrastructure, which cannot be directly compared to private sector costs.
