Community health centres go a long way toward addressing the needs of francophones. They are not the whole answer, since if you are in hospital for open heart surgery and no one can speak to you in French, you will still have a problem. However, health centres meet many needs for francophones.
It is always a question of funding and available staff. Moreover, our anglophone partners still have to realize that if francophones were served in their own language, it would free up the English-speaking system. Francophones who go somewhere and hope to receive service in French often go back two or three times because they are never clear about the answers they have been given.
I can tell you that the network had to make 6,000 phone calls to find 275 pharmacists who could speak French in Ontario. So that gives you an idea of how much work we need to do to be able to help our communities.
So it is always a question of funding and of having the staff we need to make these centres run. We are also aware that we will not have all the advantages in southern Ontario that people have in Toronto. However, we are prepared to start with a 100% guarantee of bilingual services, that is, having anglophones served in English and francophones in French. But there has to be a guarantee.
