Saskatchewan lawmakers advance bill to ban parking fees for cancer patients at treatment centers.
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.
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.
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.
The bill now moves to second reading.
