No, you're not an excitable guy at all.
The Société santé et mieux-être du Nouveau-Brunswick would like the consultation process that is to be established at the regional and local level—and even if need be at the provincial level—to take distinctive features into consideration in taking financial decisions for a community, a majority and a minority. There are important decisions to be made. The model that we are trying to introduce aims precisely at giving the communities a degree of power—or at least influence from the consultation standpoint—to prevent any cuts.
In New Brunswick, the Act is clear. It provides for health services for all citizens, in the language of their choice, wherever they may be in the province, and that's what we want. The reality, on the other hand, is something else again. Unfortunately, when the time comes for policy decisions, they are made the same way for everyone. History has taught us that in a minority context, the minority often takes more of a hit than the majority. It is therefore a question of tools, empowerment and capacity building. That is what the organizations around the table do. That is what our work is.
