On March 28, 2006, the Local Health System Integration Act, 2006 (LHSIA) was presented to the Lieutenant Governor in Council and received Royal Assent.   In fulfilling their mandates, the LHINs are responsible for local health system planning and community engagement.  As of April 1, 2007, the LHINs have also assumed responsibility for funding a wide range of health service providers, for managing the majority of service agreements with health service providers.

The draft regulation below provides guidelines to the LHINs regarding their Francophone community engagement activities.

All proposed regulations under LHSIA will be published in The Ontario Gazette for 60 days and will be posted on the Ministry website for public review and the opportunity for feedback. Following the 60 day consultation period, the Minister reviews the comments received and reports any recommended changes to the Lieutenant Governor in Council (LGIC). The final regulation is presented to the Legislation and Regulations Committee and Cabinet and then presented to the LGIC to sign it into law. Once the final regulations are filed with the Registrar of Regulations and posted in The Ontario Gazette, they are enforceable.
