Perfect.
We want health promotion and disease prevention to be the cornerstones of the francophone effort to take responsibility for their health, and that these approaches be based on a holistic vision of health and emphasis on health determinants, while also taken vulnerable groups into account.
Allow me to give you an example. Public health representatives, whose mandate is health promotion and disease prevention, are going to our francophones schools to talk about promotion and prevention in English only. On the other hand, other francophone representatives are going to English schools and talk about promotion and prevention in English.
This makes no sense. The resources are not being used effectively to provide quality health services in French. I think this is because there is no acknowledgement of the obligation to provide health services in French to francophones in Ontario.
In conclusion, I would like to talk to you about planning and management within the network. We offered our services to the province in order to be able to act as agents for the LHINs, the local health integration networks, that conduct planning activities and health promotion. It is therefore important to have a support agreement with the federal government.
Thank you very much.
