A judge ruled Nova Scotia violated rights by denying out-of-province surgery coverage, prompting an apology.

A Nova Scotia judge ruled that the province violated the rights of Jennifer Brady and Crystal Ellingsen by denying coverage for necessary out-of-province surgeries for their medical conditions. The court found the rejections unreasonable and discriminatory. Premier Tim Houston apologized, committed to reimbursing the women for medical and legal costs, and requested an audit of the Health Department's procedures for handling similar treatment requests.
