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.
