(Selena Ross/ CTV News) — A new law that allows Quebec families one round of publicly covered in vitro fertilization treatment will take effect just next week, the province announced Wednesday, while announcing the details of the law.
After weeks and even years of anticipation, after the last such coverage ended in 2015, the province said the new come-into-force date will be Nov. 15.
The law allowing the change was passed last March, but when it would take effect was left unclear, with the province saying it would be sometime this fall, or before the end of the fall legislative session.
The details were also not clear at the time, but Health Minister Lionel Carmant’s office explained them on Wednesday, outlining a program that will be available to many people, including a broader tax credit for infertility treatments. (…)
