Résumé
Comme partout ailleurs au Canada, le régime des soins médicaux et hospitaliers du Nouveau-Brunswick est universel. Les services de santé qui sont ainsi offerts à la population sont fournis sur une base individuelle, sans égard à la race ou à la langue de l'individu. D'autre part, le Nouveau-Brunswick est la seule province canadienne qui a proclamé officiellement l'égalité juridique des deux communautés linguistiques qui la composent. Dans un tel contexte, l'assurance de la disponibilité de services de santé dans sa propre langue devient un principe général important; elle affecte directement la qualité des services fournis à la minorité francophone de cette province ainsi que le développement de ses institutions hospitalières. L'auteur cherche ici a analyser si, au-delà de cette dialectique juridique dont semble friand le Nouveau-Brunswick, l'égalité de fait est recherchée dans le secteur de la formation des spécialistes de la santé. Puisque cette formation est extrêmement onéreuse et étant donné le nombre restreint de ses habitants, le Nouveau-Brunswick a conclu plusieurs accords avec des provinces voisines dans le but de permettre à ses étudiants de s'inscrire dans des programmes de sciences de la santé non disponibles dans la province. Ayant choisi l'angle linguistique, l'auteur examine les structures mises en place pour appliquer ces accords, le nombre et la qualité linguistique des étudiants ainsi que les sommes dépensées par le Nouveau-Brunswick dans le cadre de l'application de ces ententes. Finalement, il mesure l'intensité de l'effort que fournit cette province pour former des spécialistes francophones.
As everywhere else in Canada, the New Brunswick medical and hospital plan is a universal one. Consequently, health services offered to the people are provided on an individual basis, regardless of the recipient's race or language. On the other hand, New Brunswick is the only Canadian province to have proclaimed officially the legal equality of its two linguistic communities. In this context, guaranteeing the availability of health services in the recipient's own language becomes an important general principle; it has a direct impact on the quality of services provided to the French-speaking minority in the province as well as on the development of its health care facilities. This paper endeavours to discover if, beyond this legal dialectic apparently so dear to New Brunswick, a real equality is being sought in the area of health specialist training. This training being extremely costly and its population small, New Brunswick has signed several agreements with the neighbouring provinces in order to enable its students to enroll in health programs not available in the province. This paper considers, from a linguistic viewpoint, the structures set up for the implementation of these agreements, the number and linguistic quality of students and the amounts spent by New Brunswick under these agreements. Finally, its conclusion focuses on the intensity of the efforts made by the province to train French-speaking specialists.
