Quebec’s only specialist in hereditary retinal diseases can’t practise in his own province because he failed an obligatory French test. His temporary permit to practice, granted on condition that he pass the French test, expired on June 30. However, he failed 12 times to pass the writing section, scoring 36 per cent on his last effort. If he passes, “he can obtain a regular permit to practise,” a spokeswoman for Quebec’s College of Physicians told the Post. He could do decent assessments in French; he also treated many of his patients in French.
