CLSC

CLSCs (centre local de services communautaires, local community service centre) in Quebec are free clinics and hospitals run and maintained by the Quebec government.

Until the commission, most health and social services had been generally under jurisdiction of religious-affiliated agencies, primarily those of the Roman Catholic Church.

After the commission, the Quebec government, with several measures made by the Quebec Liberal Party of Jean Lesage, took full control of the health and social services jurisdiction and later created the CLSCs.

The province also granted access to a wide variety of services for free for most citizens.
