Active offer of health services in French is the regular and permanent offer of services to the Francophone population. The active offer of services:
- respects the principles of equity;
- strives for service quality comparable to that provided in English;
- is linguistically and culturally appropriate to the needs and priorities of Francophones;
- is inherent to the quality of the services provided to people (patients, residents, clients) and an important contributing factor to their safety.
