ABOUT US
We all benefit from several social programs in Quebec. Free healthcare and compensations in the event of workplace accidents and illnesses are available to most workers. But the system can be faulty and can present major hurdles to see one’s rights recognised. Too often workplace accident or illness victims are neglected, even rejected by the system. Doctor Benoit Deshaies Foundation, created in 1998, can help them…"It's not because things are difficult that we dare not venture. It's because we dare not venture that they are difficult."

Testimonial
N’Hamed Chaya in Quebec for more than 20 years, a metal worker and a welder must quit his first job because of unhealthy working conditions. He joins, for the next 12 years, a company that cleans and repairs industrial machinery. Around the 90s he experiences difficulties in breathing and feels always tired. His doctor discovers a fibrosis in his lungs. N’Hamed Chaya is the father of four children and cannot envision quitting his job. His situation worsened and his doctor recommends that he file a claim to the then CSST. Based on an opinion from pulmonologists, reviewed by the “Presidents Committee”; the CSST denies his claim for compensation. The Foundation agrees to assist him in his endeavour by financing an expert medical opinion by a pulmonologist while the Public Defender paid his legal fees. This saga lasted for six years since he started being compensated in 2008. N’Hamed Chaya is grateful for the assistance provided by the Foundation. “Without the Foundation there is no way I could have lasted for the duration” states today N’Hamed Chaya.
