The announcement refers to human treatment trials, so that seems to go far beyond what is already happening at University of Sask.
I had already written to the Ontario Minister of Health advising Ontario has the potential to be leaders in CCSVI treatment and calling on her to take swift action to make that happen (no reply to date).
I will now follow up with her, urging her to follow Saskatchewan's lead. Wouldn't it be great if she would offer actual treatment, not just trials. (Once again, I can dream!)

Just got the newspaper.
FRONT PAGE!!!!!!!!!!
End of the article ends with a downer though........research still has to be approved by the biomedical ethics board.
The UofS study took over a year to be approved........hopefully with the support of our government it won't take as long.
People really have no idea how long a year is when you feel the effects of a chronic illness every day.

actual estimated rates:
According to the study researchers, the overall weighted estimate of MS prevalence in Canada was 240 per 100,000. Prevalence was also reported by region: British Columbia – 240 per 100,000; Prairie region – 340 per 100,000; Ontario – 230 per 100,000; Quebec – 180 per 100,000; Atlantic region – 350 per 100,000. Because of the small numbers involved, prevalence was not broken out by province within the Prairie and Atlantic regions.
