Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his question. I know he is as concerned about health care as are other members in the House.
Why do we have five specialists doing spinal fusion in Ontario? That is the real question. Why have we lost some of our best trained, most competent surgeons to Europe and the U.S.? The reason we have lost them is that the facilities we have here in Canada have fallen behind immensely. There are 1.1 MRI imaging facilities per 100,000 in Canada and 3.6 per 100,000 in Germany. This is a multifaceted concern. I would prefer to bring another five spinal fusion specialists to Ontario and set them up on this side of the border instead of on the U.S. side.
