"As a hospital that sees people who require sexual reassignment
surgery, we can verify the critical nature of it being accessible – it
is no exaggeration to call it "life-saving surgery" to those who need
it."

On behalf of CAMH, I wish to commend the province on its decision to relist sexual reassignment surgery as an OHIP-covered service. This puts Ontario back in line with other provinces.

As a hospital that sees people who require sexual reassignment surgery, we can verify the critical nature of it being accessible – it is no exaggeration to call it "life-saving surgery" to those who need it.

I believe the key to his statement is that last bit. The gender-keepers at Clarke decide in their way "who needs it."
