Dear John,

Today the Fraser Institute published Waiting Your Turn, our annual survey of physicians across Canada regarding medical treatment wait times.

The study reports a median wait time of 28.6 weeks — the second longest ever recorded.

Shorter than the 30 weeks reported last year and 208% higher than in 1993, when we began tracking wait times.

Remarkably long wait times for medically necessary care have become the defining characteristic of the Canadian health care experience.

See the provincial numbers here [[link removed]], and be sure to help spread this important news on social media.

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President

The Fraser Institute
