Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to add my thanks to those of my colleagues who have spoken to the witnesses today. Their remarks are really very interesting.
I was struck by your testimony, Ms. Chouinard. Your speech was very powerful. On public health, you said there was a risk for the vulnerable populations. Ms. Lalonde just said that many people in her riding are educated, but I believe that's the case of many segments of the population, unless I'm mistaken, and that obviously includes seniors and the most vulnerable individuals.
This public health issue, the fact that people can't understand the language, is serious. You saw what happened in Joliette. The incident involved a language other than one of the official languages. A woman died because people who were caring for her couldn't understand her language. That's one example, but that could very well have happened in French or English. However hospital staff in the region were used to admitting people from the indigenous community and already had to follow protocols. Very significant public health threats abound, whether in Orleans or in any other place where the francophone community is in the minority.
Ms. Chouinard, can you cite any specific examples? Have any similar cases been reported to you?
