11AM LIFE JACKET LAW: IT’S THE LAW THAT A BOAT OWNER NEEDS TO HAVE ENOUGH LIFE JACKETS ABOARD HIS VESSEL FOR EACH PASSENGER. BUT IT’S NOT LAW THAT YOU HAVE TO WEAR A LIFE JACKET. WE’VE SEEN MANY BOAT RELATED DROWNINGS WHERE VICTIMS WEREN’T WEARING PERSONAL FLOATATION DEVICES. GUEST: BARBARA BYERS, PUBLIC EDUCATION DIRECTOR OF THE LIFE SAVING SOCIETY. QUESTION: DO WE NEED A LIFEJACKET LAW? OR WOULD THIS BE IMPOSSIBLE TO REGULATE? 11:30AM PAYING FOR MEDICAL RECORDS: YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS BELONG TO YOU, BUT MANY DOCTORS CHARGE A FEE IF YOU WANT A COPY OF YOUR OWN RECORDS. SOME PATIENTS FACE HUGE COSTS. ONE HEALTHCARE CENTRE WANTED TO CHARGE A PATIENT $2,532 FOR A COPY OF THEIR OWN MEDICAL RECORDS. THE PATIENT COMPLAINED TO ONTARIO”S INFORMATION AND PRIVACY COMMISSIONER, ANN CAVOUKIAN AND THE FEE WAS WAIVED. GUEST: ONTARIO’S INFORMATION AND PRIVACY COMMISSIONER, ANN CAVOUKIAN. QUESTION: SHOULD YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR OWN MEDICAL RECORDS? YES OR NO?
