Government of Quebec
In 1995, the Quebec Government passed legislation aimed at maintaining and improving the physical, mental, and social capacity of persons to act in their community in the areas of health and social services (Government of Quebec, 1995). This Act established an organizational structure for health and social services delivery that was designed, among other things, to ensure that services were geographical and linguistically accessible and culturally appropriate, safe, and responsive to the needs of individuals, families, and groups. The Act established the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services and the Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay, enabling the provision of culturally appropriate and safe services in those regions.
