This brief was intended for The Committee on Health and Social Services of the Assemblée Nationale du Québec as part of the special consultation on: «Les conditions de vie des adultes hébergés en centre d’hébergement et de soins de longue durée» (unofficial translation: The living conditions of adults who are accomodated in the CHSLD). The situation portrayed in the brief illustrates the economic, geographic, linguistic and cultural barriers that the accommodated First Nations adults of Quebec are faced with. But above all else, it is the persistence of the structural and jurisdictional obstacles that arise in their relationswith government authorities and the lack of political will to eliminate these obstacles that represent their greatest challenge.
