NIAGARA REGION – Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates is urging Premier Doug Ford to pass a bill extending OHIP coverage for Prostate Antigen Testing,
He says its a vital tool for early prostate cancer detection. Gates initially introduced the bill in November 2022, with prior attempts in 2019 and 2020.
The latest version of the motion was voted down by the Conservative government.
Currently, eight provinces and three territories in Canada cover life-saving diagnostic testing, and Gates’ bill could enable Ontario to do the same.
