It was a symposium with representatives of the Anglophone communities in Quebec. We also invited researchers to attend. The purpose of the meeting was to see how to establish partnerships where researchers could develop research programs based on problems identified by the minority linguistic communities in Quebec—in this case, the Anglophone communities. People presented statistics relating to that population in Quebec. At the present time, the Canada Institutes for Health Research are trying to establish closer ties between the researchers and the communities that have identified specific needs, in order to see how they can work together. We believe that the results of that research will help to inform our work in terms of program development, services and access.
