Thank you very much for the question.
Mr. Chair, I am very pleased to respond to that.
Regarding the $300 million, we are very proud of our support for minority communities across the country. We began with consultations with minority communities. We asked them what their priorities were and what problems they had to face in the area of access to health care services. We are generally not the level of government which provides these services, but we can nevertheless provide training programs, for instance.
I can give you a couple of examples. The Government of Alberta put in place a telephone system to provide information and to answer questions such as: How do I get to the emergency department? There is a health care network in Alberta which said that this type of service was needed in French in Alberta. As a result, because of this type of contribution, we now have a French telephone service within Alberta's health care network.
A little earlier, you referred to services in the North. I could give you examples which also apply to northern Canada. In the Yukon, for example, a community health care partnership, which had received funding, updated the register of health care professionals and of bilingual social services, and it is fairly available to the public.
