Later in Hour 1, a pair of ER doctors in Montreal are moving on from their healthcare gigs, blaming Quebec’s broken system and Bill 96 as primary reasons behind their tough decision. Meantime, a renovation project around the Centre Block of Parliament Hill has turned into a fascinating dig site, with over 200,000 artifacts being discovered. What do they tell us about the past?
