萨斯喀彻温省立法者提出法案,禁止在治疗中心向癌症患者收取停车费。 Saskatchewan lawmakers advance bill to ban parking fees for cancer patients at treatment centers.

2026年3月,萨斯喀彻温省的NDP MLA Jared Clarke提出第615号法案,禁止在指定治疗设施为癌症病人支付停车费,因为2024年的省政策要求一些病人付费。 In March 2026, Saskatchewan’s NDP MLA Jared Clarke introduced Bill 615 to ban parking fees for cancer patients at designated treatment facilities, following criticism of a 2024 provincial policy requiring some patients to pay. 该法案在癌症幸存者Dennis Ogrodnick的支持下一读通过, 他认为该政策前后不一且不公平, The bill passed first reading, backed by cancer survivor Dennis Ogrodnick, who argued the policy is inconsistent and unfair, noting free parking in some areas while others charge fees. 萨斯喀彻温省卫生局为设施维修和为一线护理供资所需的费用进行辩护,并列举了对诊断成像的投资,尽管过去的政策因地区而异。 The Saskatchewan Health Authority defends the fees as necessary for facility maintenance and funding frontline care, citing investments in diagnostic imaging, though past policies varied across regions. 法案现在转而进行二读。 The bill now moves to second reading.
