The Quebec government is launching a public inquest into the death of Joyce Echaquan, who filmed hospital staff hurling racist comments at her in her final hours. Quebec Public Security Minister Geneviève Guilbault said on Twitter Saturday afternoon that she has ordered a public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Echaquan's death at the hospital in Joliette, Que. Her announcement came after protests were held in Montreal and Quebec City demanding "Justice for Joyce." Carol Dubé, left, says his wife Joyce Echaquan was admitted into hospital with stomach pains on Saturday; the 37-year-old died on Monday. Protesters march to demand justice for Joyce Echaquan in Montreal on Saturday.
