We are very much aware that one of the primary concerns of minority communities is obtaining services in their own language. In health, that means services offered by the provinces. We therefore encourage them very strongly to develop an offer of service in French. We establish agreements with them and we encourage them, with a little funding, to design plans to expand the scope of their French-language services. The fact remains that it is up to the provinces to make their choices and to set their priorities.
