Charge withdrawn against Ottawa police officer who had sex while on duty

Quebec’s new health minister was sworn in on Friday, a day after Christian Dubé resigned from the role and quit the Coalition Avenir Quebec party over changes to a doctor-pay law he had championed in the legislature.The ceremony for Sonia Bélanger took place shortly after the federation of Quebec family doctors said its members had voted 97 per cent in favour of an agreement in principle — which waters down the law — with the provincial government.
