Are there any impacts on French language services?
Under the French Language Services Act, (FLSA) any head or central office of a government agency must provide services in French. The FLSA also indicates that members of the public have the right to receive services in French from the Government of Ontario in 24 designated areas. Each LHIN provides services to the public in French in accordance with the FLSA. Although 2 of the 14 LHINs are not within designated areas, there will be no difference in French-language services provided to the public by these LHIN offices. Although LHINs are not be providers of clinical services, LHINs plan services, fund and integrate the delivery of health care services. In these roles, LHINs need to assess and plan for French-language services in their areas, and provide the appropriate funding and allocation of resources. In doing so, the LHINs are required to engage a French language health planning entity for their geographic area.
