Is it actually a constitutional right like the French school system is?
I guess the best solution (if that's the case) is to make both systems work better for Anglophones and Francophones alike.
Moncton seems to be the only one of the "big three" where Medavie and Horizon operate simultaneously?
Maybe Fredericton and Saint John should both see Medavie run community care clinics, or rather,
cliniques de soins communautaires. If both systems are supposed to be fully bilingual and fully accessible by both Anglophones and Francophones, then perhaps Medavie should also have some sort of presence, or fill some niches, in the SJ and Freddy regions, especially to help our regions attract and retain Francophone immigrants...
Saint John and Fredericton could do a much better job marketing out cities to Francophones, and maybe some French community clinics could be part of the approach to changing that.
