As the Liberal MP for NDG-Westmount, Gainey has spoken out against a controversial new language directive issued by the Quebec government that restricts the use of languages other than French in the health sector. She has appealed to federal Health Minister Mark Holland to intervene under the Canada Health Act, arguing the directive undermines the Act's principle of accessibility to health services.2
