Publication replaced on October 3, 2025 as requested by the publisher. Includes bibliographical references (page 13). "Using data from the 2022 Survey on the Official Language Minority Population (SOLMP), this study aims to expand on these findings by examining how distance to health care facilities, along with other regional and sociodemographic factors, is related to access to language-concordant hospital care for the official language minority population (OLMP) in Canada. The distance between individuals’ residence and the closest minority language hospital is calculated from the location provided in the Open Database of Healthcare Facilities. The analysis focuses on adults aged 18 and older living across Canada, with a close examination of New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario, three provinces with legislation or regulations requiring certain hospitals to provide services in the minority official language. Manitoba also has such legislation but was excluded from part of the analysis because of insufficient sample size. More specifically, the analysis examines the English-speaking adult population in Quebec and the French-speaking adult population in Canada outside Quebec. The target population for this study is those who indicated that it was important for them to access health care services in the minority official language and who obtained services at a hospital in the 12 months before the survey. In this study, health care services refer to health care services received in a hospital. However, for simplicity’s sake, the terms “health care services” and “hospital health care services” are used interchangeably throughout the study"--Introduction, page 2.
