Il dimontre que la dicision crde une distinction discriminatoire puisque 'elle retire de la communautifrancophone de lOntario I'accas aux services midicaux et ai une dducation mddicale en frangais, un ddsavantage qu 'ellen 'impose pas aux anglophones. Il explique aussi que la communautj francophone constitue un groupe analogue 6 ceux inumires b l'article 15 puisqu'elle forme une minoritd discrete, isolie et vulngrable qui a djt victime de ddsavantages historiques. Finalement, il explique que le recours approprij pour rectifier 1 'acte discriminatoire du gouvernement Ontarien est le maintien d'un h6pitalfrancophone autonome. The Author argues that the decision of the Health Care Restructuring Commission to transform the Montfort hospital into a walk-in clinic constitutes discrimination and violates Article 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The author shows that the decision creates a discriminatory distinction since it denies access to healthcare services and medical education to the Francophone community, a disadvantage which it does not impose onAnglophones. He also explains that the Francophone community constitutes a group analogous to those enumerated in Article 15 as they form a discrete, isolated and vulnerable minority that has been the victim of historical disadvantages. Finally, the author explains that the proper course of action needed to rectify the Government of Ontario's discriminatory action is to ensure the maintenance of an autonomous Francophone hospital.
