SEPT-ILES, Que. - Twenty doctors have quit their practice in a remote Quebec town because of plans to build a uranium mine.
The doctors are based in Sept-Iles and have written Health Minister Yves Bolduc to outline their fears if the mine is built. Some are going to leave the area, while others may even leave the province.
They say there will likely be other resignations.
Sept-Iles is about 900 kilometres northwest of Montreal on the North Shore.
