"Can Plaquenil be taken every other day since INESSS has decided that hydroxychloroquine prescriptions can no longer be renewed?"

It is possible to take Plaquenil every other day instead of every day. However, whether this is appropriate for you depends on the stability of your condition. It is important to consult with your rheumatologist to determine the best course of action. Keep in mind that it takes several weeks for hydroxychloroquine to fully leave your body once you stop taking it.
