Over the last few years, the French Language Services Commissioner of Ontario has been drawing attention to the fact that the provincial government appears to take the view that the French Language Services Act (FLSA) does not apply to the vast majority of health care services funded by the State, on the grounds that they are primarily offered by non-governmental entities. More specifically, the government has apparently concluded that the FLSA does not apply to health care providers funded by Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) because the latter do not themselves provide any services, meaning that the entities they fund are not operating “on their behalf” within the meaning of the Act. Given that the majority of funding for the public health care system is funnelled through LHINs, this would constitute a very significant gap in the province’s framework of language rights. And, even though the province has set in motion a major set of reforms aiming to alter or even eliminate LHINs, we can expect the government to maintain its position with respect to the application of the FLSA. This article therefore aims to test the validity of the Province’s legal theory. In the final analysis, the author concludes that the Province is mistaken. The FLSA, as a quasi-constitutional law whose purpose is to protect fundamental rights, applies to non-governmental entities that provide public services in the context of a determined governmental policy or program, which includes health care providers funded by LHINs or by the new entity that will replace them. The analysis offered here is relevant not only to the FLSA, but also to any language rights legislation, including the federal Official Languages Act. It will also be of interest to those working in the areas of human rights and administrative law.
