I would also say that I think from discussion with my colleagues in Quebec, now that the CLSCs are in a broader group called the CSSSs, Centres de santé et de services sociaux, there has been a real focus on helping the individual access seamless care. While I would submit that is important, it is not sufficient. You have to make sure that you can still have the grassroots community input into deciding the kind of care.
It's not all about helping an individual get faster medical care. It's about making sure that we keep and build healthy communities. I think the history of the CLSCs has to be strengthened in terms of its community-based approach and not simply helping individuals navigate a seamless health system.
