All institutions in the Quebec health and social service system must provide access to their services in French. However, a provision in the
Act Respecting Health and Social Services entitles English-speakers to receive their health services and social services in English. The law also stipulates that each health and social service agency must develop a program of access to health services and social services in English for the English-speaking population of its area. Each agency, also, has the obligation to establish a
regional committee to advise it concerning this program which must be approved by the government and revised at least every three years.
The Regional Program of Access to Services in the English Language for the English-Speaking Population of Montreal 2007-2010 was approved by governmental decree in December 2007. It includes fifty-four institutions that provide some, or all, of their services in English.
