MONTREAL—Paramedics working at 40 Quebec ambulance services across the province, including the provincial capital, began a strike on July 1.

Daniel Chouinard, the president of the union that represents the paramedics, says the strike won’t affect the level of care provided to patients due to the province’s essential services law.
