New language directives in health a welcome, significant step, QCGN says
The Quebec Community Groups Network is heartened to see significant progress on the divisive issue of how English and other languages may be used in Quebec’s health and social services network.
“The revised directives on language permissions go a long way toward assuaging the fears and concerns of the 1.3-million member English-speaking community of Quebec,” said QCGN President Eva Ludvig. “They also more closely reflect the promises this and previous governments have made that changes to language legislation would not affect the availability of nor access to health and social services in English,” she said.
