The bill won't change anything about this people's access to healthcare since there are literally no government healthcare services offered in Inuktitut anywhere. The rest of Canada isn't any better on this.
I feel like the English media is singling out Quebec just for trying to protect it's French cultural heritage. It's francophobic.
While I agree with your second point, I think the article is arguing that healthcare access will be made harder for indigenous people because they’re more likely to speak English or Inuktitut than other parts of the population. Even though Inuktitut is not available in most cases, a multilingual health care system makes it more accessible.
Often times they're sent from their northern region to Montreal for serious health issues, where there are three English hospitals. They'll be sent to one of these no doubt.
