Access to Health and Social Services for Quebec’s English-Speaking Minority Communities: Recent Challenges, Legislative Context, and Research Recommendations

This brief offers preliminary observations about existing research on access to health and social services for Quebec’s English-speaking official language minority community (OLMC). It identifies research themes and needs. The brief also makes a recommendation for measures that would strengthen the research ecosystem and thus support work in the field. As such, this brief addresses Priority G – “the need for research, evidence, and solutions to support health care access in one’s chosen language” – outlined in the preparatory document for the Standing Committee’s study mentioned above.
