  • Waiting for Care in Canada: a Report on the State of Wait List Management for Hip and Knee Replacements from Provincial and Territorial Government Websites
    WAITING FOR CARE IN CANADA: A REPORT ON THE STATE OF WAIT LIST MANAGEMENT FOR HIP AND KNEE REPLACEMENTS FROM PROVINCIAL AND TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT WEBSITES By Jennifer Bernier, Kristen MacLellan and Barbara Clow For Women and Health Care Reform March 2010 Funding for this project was provided by the Gender and Health Unit, Health Canada through the Women’s Health Contribution Program. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of Health Canada. INTRODUCTION Substantial restructuring of Canada’s health care system in the late 1980s and early 1990s created real concern about the quality of health care, including timely access to care. Regionalization and privatization might have led to increased efficiencies – though this is far from an accepted or established position – but it had certainly increased the amount of time people spent waiting for diagnostic and treatment services. In 1997, Health Canada commissioned a number of projects designed to assess the state of wait time management and a preliminary report delivered a scorching critique. “With rare exceptions,” concluded the authors, “waiting lists in Canada, as in most countries, are non-standardized, capriciously organized, poorly monitored, and (according to most informed observers) in grave need of retooling” (McDonald, et al, 1998). Over the next few years, researchers and clinicians continued to draw attention to the need to understand and address lengthy waits for health care and in 2004, Canada’s First Ministers established an accord to reduce waiting times for key health care services, including diagnostic imaging, screening programs and radiation therapy for cancer, by-pass surgery for heart disease, total hip and knee replacements, and surgical removal of cataracts.

  • The Law of Stigma, Travel, and the Abortion- Free Island
    33.1 Columbia Journal of Gender and Law 29 THE LAW OF STIGMA, TRAVEL, AND THE ABORTION- FREE ISLAND JOANNA N. ERDMAN* In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada decriminalized abortion in R. v. Morgentaler.1 Almost immediately thereafter, the Maritime province of Prince Edward Island (“P.E.I.”) passed a legislative resolution opposing the provision of abortion services on the Island except to save the life of a pregnant woman.2 P.E.I. is a small pastoral province of rolling hills and ocean coves in the St. Lawrence Gulf, and since 1988, through various regulatory actions, its government has honored this policy promise to keep the Island abortion-free and to preserve its moral landscape.3 The same year that abortion was banished from P.E.I., Prince Edward Islanders also voted “yes” to the building of the Confederation Bridge, which would join the Island to * B.A., J.D., University of Toronto; LL.M., Harvard Law School.
