When the hospital was made aware of the graffitied slurs, staff began cleaning the walls on which they appeared, Forest said.
He told MTL Blog that an internal investigation into the slurs is underway. Forest did not disclose what was written to MTL Blog.
"Depending on the outcome of the investigation, sanctions or disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, may be taken," he said.
