Negotiations between the Quebec government and family doctors have broken off once again, less than a month before a set of reforms are set to go into effect that would alter the way doctors are paid.

The Legault government and the Fédération des médecins omnipraticiens du Québec (FMOQ) had restarted talks in the weeks following the October adoption of Bill 2, the special legislation drafted by Health Minister Christian Dubé.

But it was revealed Thursday those talks have collapsed.

"Nothing is working. The government won't budge on its law," said Stéphane Gosselin, a spokesperson for the FMOQ.

France-Élaine Duranceau, Quebec's Treasury Board President, said she was "very disappointed" that talks had ended. She said the provincial government had been open to finding common ground.
