In Canada, the issue of improving access to French-language health services, especially in provinces outside of Quebec, lies within a complex relational dynamic between different actors who pursue various objectives. In 2008, the Government of New Brunswick merged the eight existing regional health authorities into two, Regional Health Authority A (Vitalité Health Network) and Regional Authority B (Horizon Health Network). Later, it was determined that Vitalité would operate in French and Horizon, in English, while ensuring the delivery of health services in the citizens’ official language of choice. The general objective of the research was to understand how the dynamics between the actors of a network governance influence the way the issue of access to health services in French is managed. The research was based on a qualitative method and included semi-structured interviews (n=26). The results show that the legal framework of language rights’ requirement to offer services in the language of choice pushes the actors to mobilize strategies focused on quality and security. The notion of access also has a symbolic dimension, as it is associated with notions of equity and governance. Access to health services in French is a sensitive issue for the government, which tends to steer clear of it. To better address the health needs of citizens, this actor must build trust and set clear objectives.
