Good morning and thank you for coming here today to make a presentation.
To begin with, I would like to say that access to health care is one of our government’s priorities. This is a very important issue for minority language communities. The vitality of minority communities depends on access to health care in their mother tongue, as you know. It is a key factor.
During your presentation you said that some funds are allocated for primary healthcare needs, while other funds go towards networking initiatives. We have already spoken briefly on the topic of networking. I note that there are 17 Francophone health networks outside Quebec, one Anglophone provincial health network in Quebec, and nine other regional and local networks covering the province.
Can you explain to us more specifically the concept of networking. What are the goals, strategies? And what are the expected outcomes?
