The Liberals are proposing a major overhaul of the way the healthcare system is funded, with payments based on each facility's productivity.

Philippe Couillard said he would create a network of 50 super clinics which would be open seven days a week.

He also proposed trimming healthcare bureaucracy by ten percent., while hiring 2,000 nurse-practitioners to improve patient care.

Couillard, joined by doctors and Liberal candidates Gaetan Barrette and Yves Bolduc, said planning for healthcare would be in danger if the PQ were re-elected because of that party's devotion to creating an independent country.

Couillard said because the PQ would devote so much effort to achieving sovereignty it would lose sight of healthcare.

He also said the transition to an independent Quebec would destroy Canada, damage Quebec's economy for years, and have a massive negative impact on healthcare services.

The proof, Couillard said, is choosing Pierre Karl Peladeau as a candidate and pretending he's an economic genius.

"He's not there for the economy, jobs, healthcare. He's there to separate Quebec from Canada. This is his main engine, we know that, it's clear now," said Couillard.

"This is why the ballot question now, thanks to him by the way, thanks to him, is even clearer than it was a few days ago."
