I must be very careful about getting into the details that you are describing because that is the responsibility of our New Brunswick network. In each province our network works with the government and is finding better solutions. When that happened, our network was in a process of being created. It was not therefore firmly in the saddle nor sufficiently established in order to work with the government in making the best choices.
I do not want to get into the debate on hospitals versus community health centres. We have seen across the country that provinces have similar strategies. What we are trying to do is improve primary health care. That was one of the first issues we focussed on. Saskatchewan and Alberta are facing significant challenges in transforming hospitals into community health centres.
Of course, that can lead to problems in terms of obstetric and other services. I think our network should continue to discuss this because when those decisions were made, our network was only just being established. That was approximately two and a half years ago. Our network was just starting up at the time.
As Mr. Fortier pointed it out, our network is more firmly established now and in a position to have positive discussions with each of these governments. We hope that we can continue to influence policies to the advantage of francophones so that access becomes as close as possible to 100 per cent.
