The Fédération des médecins omnipraticiens du Québec (FMOQ), has expressed significant reservations on several occasions in recent months regarding certain claims made by the Ordre des pharmaciens du Québec (OPQ), particularly those implying the right to prescribe drugs and administer vaccinations.
