Sure. Building on some research that we had done previously, a group recently looked at procedures across Canada and the remuneration for procedures that are more commonly performed on male patients compared to female patients. These would be things like a hysterectomy compared to the removal of a prostate, for example.
It was pretty consistent across all provinces and across all of these procedures that procedures on women are remunerating at a much lower level. This is payment to the surgeon for these procedures.
What we can do, in terms of trying to promote more pay equity for surgeons and also ensuring that we're delivering the best care to our patients, would be to look at these procedures and promote pay equity across provinces to ensure that the sex of the patient does not matter when making these remuneration decisions. It's a very complicated issue, but I think that's a very simple thing that could be done as a first step to promote pay equity.
