Good morning, my name is Nicole Rauzon-Wright. I am the volunteer President of the Réseau franco-santé du Sud de l'Ontario (Franco Health Network of Southern Ontario). Thank you so much for having invited us this morning. I am here today, along with Jean-Marc Boisvenue, to talk to you about the situation of French-language health services in Ontario, more specifically in Southern Ontario.
It is through the Société Santé en français that we obtained funding for Setting the Stage, a French-language health services planning project. This is a national initiative. Thus, this is not only happening in Ontario, but throughout Canada. The project is funded by Health Canada through the Primary Health Care Transition Fund. It covers official language minority communities.
