If you’re waiting for elective surgery – this may come as no surprise — our province has the second highest wait times for elective surgery in the country — 33.6-weeks.
The report from the Fraser Institute pegs Prince Edward Island with the longest waiting period at 44.4-weeks while the shortest wait times are in Ontario at 14-weeks.
A spokesman for the Institute says governments should try new health care policies including cost sharing and private health care instead of just throwing more money at the system.
