The Quebec government says it is ready to make changes to a controversial directive that has raised concerns the province is restricting access to health care in English.

Three provincial ministers say in an open letter published this morning that the government is not limiting the availability of health services in English, and there will never be language requirements in Quebec to treat a patient.
