Data from a global survey of family doctors show that four out of 10 Canadian family doctors frequently experience distress due to their work, which is higher than international peers. Left unchecked, burnout will continue to compromise the future sustainability of family medicine.

To governments across the country – reduced administrative burden, fair compensation, flexible panel thresholds, and team-based care supports are examples of solutions for front-line family physicians, to work well and be well.

Unfortunately, the results in Quebec this year remain particularly concerning. The 2025 political crisis surrounding Bill 106 and the now-suspended Law 2 exacerbated an ongoing trend of government actions that devalue family medicine. We look forward to working with partners across the country—and particularly in Quebec—to support ongoing efforts to recognize and strengthen family medicine as an essential, valued, and rewarding profession.

The Liberal Party election platform pledged to reduce administrative burden for family doctors, but excessive paperwork remains a challenge. AI scribes are a proven solution, helping doctors save time and allowing them to focus on patient care.

We urge the federal government to fully fund AI scribe adoption for family practices across Canada.
