The research showed prioritizing for-profit clinics over public sector expansion is driving up delays, directly challenging the government's rationale for privatization. In 2024, about $674 million went to for-profit and medical imaging in Ontario, an increase of 48% from 2017-2018.

Questions remain as to why the woman who was previously convicted of theft from a patient was allowed to work at so many local hospitals.
