$4 million of new technology at
Jean Talon HospitalQuebec Liberal Health
Minister Health Minister Yves Bolduc and Laurier-Dorion Liberal MNA Gerry Sklavounos dropped by Jean Talon Hospital last week for the unveiling of a new $1.2 million CT scan machine paid for by the provincial govern-ment.
On the cutting edge“Today’s medical experts
must be able to count on equipment that is cutting-edge, especially in the field of medical imaging,” said Bolduc who is himself a medi-cal doctor. The latest genera-tion CT scanner replaces an older model the hospital had been using which had reached the end of its usefulness. CT scanners take highly precise x-ray images of the body or parts of it by dividing the images into slices.
The new machine at the hospital will allow doctors to conduct medical examinations more thoroughly and will also make CT scans more widely available. Jean Talon Hospital expects to get a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine worth $2.8 million around this time next year. It should also greatly improve the doctors’ ability to diagnose medical problems by accurately visu-alizing the internal structure and function of the body.
Boosting efficiency“Our old equipment forced us to send a certain number of cases
elsewhere,” said Jean-Paul Cadieux, president of CSSS du Coeur-de-l’Île, the local health and social services agency which oversees the hospital. “From now on we’ll be able to deal with them here.” With the old CT scanner, the hospital was able to deal with about 300 patients per year. The new one will raise that number of 2,000.
As Jean Talon Hospital is one of two designated trauma treat-ment centres in the Montreal region, the addition of the new CT scanner is important, said Sklavounos. The hospital has also gained a reputation as a regional centre for arthroplasty, involv-ing the replacement of defective hips and knees. “Jean Talon Hospital, which is part of the CSSS du Coeur-de-l’Île, plays an essential role in this part of the metropolis,” he said.
Attract new doctors“With this new equipment, the medical team will be able to con-
tribute even more to the quality and accessibility to specialized medical services offered to the population of Villeray and Petite-Patrie, as well as to other sectors of Montreal and the neigh-bouring regions. This is going to allow the hospital to continue its good work and to attract good professionals because they’re going to be equipped with the latest technology.”
Answering journalists’ questions on other issues afterwards, Bolduc was asked about an e-mail sent from his office to hospitals across the province, instructing them to refer all media inqui-ries about the cancer testing controversy that has broken out in Quebec back to the health minister’s office. Bolduc denied he was showing a lack of transparency. “We want the information to be the same for everyone,” he said.
Cancer controversy“We don’t want hospitals giving out information differently.
And we think that for the population to have good information we have to have standardization. We this is something we have to do so that people will be getting good information … We want everyone to have the information at the same time. It is impor-tant for the population to get the right information at the right moment.”

(CNW) A sharp resurgence in resale activity in Quebec this past spring reflects a homeownership market that is more accessible than has generally been the case in the province since the mid-1980s, according to the housing report released today by RBC Economics.
“Quebec was one of the last housing markets in Canada to be affected by the general slump, but prices barely missed a beat,” noted Robert Hogue, senior econo-mist at RBC. “Housing affordability is recovering very quickly in Quebec, due to its relatively good standing at the outset of the downturn.”
The RBC Affordability measure for Quebec, which captures the proportion of pre-tax household income needed to service the costs of owning a home, improved across all four housing classes in the first quarter of 2009. Affordability of the benchmark detached bungalow moved to 32.3 per cent, the standard townhouse to 27.4 per cent, the standard condo to 26.9 per cent and the standard two-storey home to 38.4 per cent.
The lower costs of homeownership in the Montreal area has helped to rekin-dle buyers interest this spring. Increased activity of existing home sales has helped sustain a healthy balance between sup-ply and demand, which should provide support for prices going forward. RBC’s Affordability measure indicated that hom-eownership costs decreased by 2.5 to 4.5 percentage points, year-over-year in the first quarter depending on the housing segment.
“Sales of existing homes in Montreal have returned to the pace that prevailed at the end of last summer,” said Hogue.
“Property values are down slightly from peak levels last year but may firm up again soon.”
RBC’s Affordability measure for a detached bungalow for Canada’s largest cities is as follows: Vancouver 62.6 per cent, Toronto 45.9 per cent, Ottawa 39.1 per cent, Montreal 36.5 per cent and
Calgary 35.1 per cent. The report also looked at mortgage
carrying costs relative to incomes for a broader sampling of cities across the coun-try, including Montreal and Quebec City. For these cities, RBC has used a narrow-er measure of housing affordability that only takes mortgage payments relative to income into account.
The property benchmark for the Housing Affordability measure, which RBC has compiled since 1985, is based on the costs of owning a detached bungalow. Alternative housing types are also present-ed including a standard two-storey home, a standard townhouse and a standard condo. The higher the reading, the more costly it is to afford a home. For example, an Affordability reading of 50 per cent means that homeownership costs, includ-ing mortgage payments, utilities and prop-erty taxes, take up 50 per cent of a typical household’s monthly pre-tax income. Highlights from across Canada:
- British Columbia: In the first quar-ter, housing affordability in B.C. showed the sharpest improvements since 1991. Sales of existing homes have picked up vigorously since the November-January lows, prices appear to be leveling off and more balanced supply and demand condi-tions are expected to emerge in coming months.
- Alberta: The drop in mortgage rates and sinking home prices have fully restored homeownership affordability in the province. Sales of existing units have rebounded smartly this spring from earlier depressed levels and market conditions have tightened. Alberta’s housing market is likely at the point of turning the corner.
- Saskatchewan: Significant improve-ment in affordability has helped the Saskatchewan housing market pick up pace again after bottoming at the start of the year. Moderately stronger sales of existing homes this spring and a slower pace of home sale listings have restored
some balance into the market.- Manitoba: Supported by relatively
favourable affordability rates, Manitoba’s market continues to be among the most resilient in the country. A relatively robust economy, steady population growth and recent improvement in affordability should support housing demand in the period ahead.
- Ontario: Spring resales figures show a surprising amount of activity in Ontario, with average prices for existing homes climbing back to where they were mid-
2008. Much of this resurgence in the province is due to greater affordability, with homeownership costs for detached bungalows and condominiums dropping below long-term averages.
- Atlantic region: The costs of owning a home in Atlantic Canada continue to improve, with housing affordability rates among the best in the country. Favourable affordability levels in Atlantic Canada have given the region some protection against the housing storm with minimal declines in property value.

The high cost of “free” parkingMunicipal regulations require that urban
developments provide on-site parking. These regulations seem innocuous and
receive little attention in public policy discussions, but they do in fact have serious consequences. They stimulate urban sprawl, encourage excessive use of cars, create inequitable social outcomes, reduce housing affordability, and suppress eco-nomic development. Wiping parking regulations from municipal planning codes across Canada is arguably the most urgent policy reform Canada’s municipalities can make.
In the middle of the last century, transport engi-neers focused on delivering free-flowing car travel. Parking regulations required developers to set aside a portion of their property for parking to ensure that drivers looking for parking spaces did not cre-ate undue congestion and delay other road users. Parking regulations are politically palatable because they improve driver convenience by including the cost of parking in the overall cost of development. This is indeed the root of the problem – parking is not free; the cost is merely hidden.
Today, 90% of private vehicle trips in North America end in a “free” parking space. It is not free, however, when one considers the valuable urban land used to provide it. Municipal parking regulations are extremely land intensive and very costly as a result. Developers who build banquet halls in Richmond, B.C., for example, are required to provide up to four square metres of parking for every metre of hirable banquet space. The result is that everyone pays more for banquet space.
The cost of parking can be substantial. The Toronto Parking Authority estimated that the cost of provid-ing a single parking space could be up to $40,000. U.S. researchers estimated that parking subsidies are sev-eral times the price of gas used by cars. Perhaps the most insidious characteristic of parking regulations is their self-reinforcing nature that progressively molds the urban landscape into a gigantic parking lot. By taking up land, parking spots reduce density and make car travel more appealing, which leads to
– surprise, surprise – greater demand for parking. In these ways parking regulations have contributed to more, rather than less, congestion.
As with many public policies, the effect of min-
imum-parking regulations varies depending upon income. These regulations almost certainly steal from the poor and give to the rich. A low-income earner is likely to spend a larger portion of their money on basic goods and services that build in the cost of parking. Supermarkets, for example, recoup the cost of parking in their grocery prices. Low-income earners are more likely to carpool, use public transit, walk or cycle, so they are less likely to benefit from the parking they are forced to subsidize. The cost of higher density housing is inflated by parking regulations.
Because the cost of parking is built in to the cost of other goods, people are less likely to make use of alternatives to the drive-and-park lifestyle. Car pool-ing, public transit, telecommuting, car sharing and online shopping reduce the demand for parking, but consumers have no incentive to choose these options because the cost of parking is built in regardless. One scholar called minimum-parking regulations a
“disastrous substitute for millions of individual deci-sions . . . about how much a parking space is worth.” In aggregate, parking regulations amount to a vast misdirection of economic resources.
Unlike many deregulation initiatives, the removal of minimum-parking regulations does not need to be sudden or disruptive. If parking regulations were removed today, Canada’s urban areas would adapt slowly over years with new developments having only small impacts on the overall demand for park-ing. Instead of regulating the supply of parking, municipalities would need to shift focus to managing demand for parking, which they can do through the use of time-limits and ultimately prices.
A deregulated parking supply is crucial to ensuring that Canada’s urban areas are able to tackle current economic and environmental challenges. If Canada’s planners are truly committed to economic growth, sustainability and livable communities, they should first focus on making sure existing regulations do not surreptitiously undermine these urban objectives. It is time we realized parking is not free and instead implemented simple regulatory reforms that allow developers, businesses and consumers to manage their demand for parking in a more effective manner.

Y en a qui se fient encore sur la météo. Crotte de taureau dirait mon voisin anglophone.Ils nous annonçaient la pluie pour hier soir, tintin. Par contre, le lendemain, j’aurais aimé faire partie de la famille de Noé. Pourquoi? Parce que la dépression s’est arrêtée au dessus des grands lacs pour faire le plein. Après quoi, le vent est tombé et elle est resté au dessus de nos têtes.D’autres se fient sur l’almanach du peuple. Bullshit, comme dit mon voisin francophone mais néanmoins polyglotte. D’autres, enfin, se fient sur leurs démangeaisons érotiques qui, après avoir hiberné tout l’hiver, commencent à déparesser leur prostate ; ils consultent les prévisions de la marmotte, de la Mère Michel et de Nostradamus sans beaucoup plus de succès que Jocelyne Blouin. D’ailleurs, le dicton populaire le dit : Nous avons deux saisons : l’hiver et le mois de juillet.Pour moi, j’ai trouvé le meilleur moyen de savoir si les beaux jours sont arrivés. Il n’y a qu’à observer la circulation automobile dans les rues du quartier. Tant que la voie du milieu va au Nord ou au Sud selon l’heure de pointe, passe encore. Mais quand la circulation commence à être détournée pour laisser la place aux piétons, cyclistes, marcheurs, coureurs, marathoniens, festivaliers… et chantiers de la Ville de Montréal (en chantier…de vous connaître) vous pouvez être assurés que les beaux jours sont là. Même les policiers le savent et se déplacent à bicyclette. Avec toutes ces courses on ne sait plus où donner de l’athlète, il n’y a presque plus que les bandits qui peuvent se payer l’essence… et les bandits des multinationales qui nous en vendent, bien entendu.En attendant, c’est bien gentil d’avoir des rues mais encore faut-il pouvoir s’en servir, les commerçants se plaignent. Mon coiffeur me dit : Ça ne sert à rien d’avoir chignon sur rue. Mon tailleur, plus philosophe se plie à ces us et costumes. Au risque de se faire coffret, mon bijoutier ne fait pas de Cartier, quant aux libraires, ça ne les dérange pas un prix qu’on court. Mon cordonnier que tous ces sportifs courent à perdre alène, mon serrurier (un homme de pène) trouve qu’ils sont loquets. Ferme-la, petit gond! Enfin, mon électricien, toujours démocrate, affirme qu’avec le Grand Montréal, il faudrait prendre un volt sur la question.Quant à moi, ma chérie, las de toutes ces murailles d’échine, je préfère rester dans mon lit et prendre le tunnel sous la hanche et autre passage sous tes reins…

Le ministre provincial de la santé, Yves Bolduc et le député libéral de Laurier-Dorion, Gerry Sklavounos sont passés la semaine dernière à l’Hôpital Jean-Talon pour inaugurer un nouveau scan-ner d’une valeur de 1.2 million offert par le gouvernement provincial.
À la pointe du progrès«De nos jours, les experts médicaux
doivent pouvoir compter sur un équi-pement de pointe, spécialement dans le domaine de l’imagerie de résonance médicale (IRM)» a déclaré M.Bolduc lui-même médecin. cette dernière généra-tion de scanners remplace un plus vieux modèle que l’hôpital a utilisé jusqu’au bout de sa vie utile. Les scanners doi-vent utiliser des rayons X de haute preci-sion sur les images de parties du corps et diviser l’image en lamelles.
La nouvelle machine permettra aux médecins de procéder à des examens médicaux plus précis et rendront les images de scanner bien plus amplement disponibles. L’Hôpital Jean-Talon reçoit une machine d’imagerie de résonance magnétique d’une valeur de $2.8 million au cours de l’année à venir. Elle devrait grandement améliorer la capacité et la précision pour diagnostiquer des prob-lèmes médicaux en montrant mieux les structures internes et les fonctions du corps.
accroître l’efficacité
«La vétusté de notre vieil équipement nous forçait à envoyer certains cas ail-leurs» dit Jean-Paul Cadieux, president du CSSS du Coeur-de-l’Île, Cette agence de santé et services sociaux qui sur-veille l’hôpital. «À présent, nous pour-rons traiter avec eux ici. Avec l’ancien scanner, l’ Hôpital pouvait traiter 300 patients par an. Avec le nouveau, on pourrait augmenter ce chiffre a 2,000.»
Comme l’Hôpital Jean-Talon et un des deux hôpitaux le mieux équipés en centre de traumatologie de la région de Montreal, l’addition de ce nou-veau scanner est importante déclare M. Sklavounos. L’hôpital a aussi gagné toute une réputation comme centre régional d’arthroplastie impliquant le remplacement de hanches et de genoux défectueux. . «L’Hôpital Jean-Talon qui fait partie du CSSS du Coeur-de-l’Île, joue un rôle essentiel dans cette partie de la métropole,» a-t-il ajouté.
attirer de nouveaux médecins.«Avec ce nouvel équipement, l’équipe
médicale pourrait contribuer plus encore à la qualité et l’accessibilité des services médicaux spécialisés offerts aux populations de Villeray et de la Petite-Patrie, ainsi qu’à d’autres secteurs de Montréal et de sa banlieue. Ça permet-tra à l’Hôpital de continuer son bon travail et d”attirer de bons profession-nels en leur offrant des équipements à la pointe de la technologie.» Interrogé par les journalistes au sujet d’un cour-riel envoyé par son bureau aux hôpi-taux de la province leur demandant de signaler toute demande de journalistes concernant la controverse des tests de dépistage du cancer, M. Bolduc a nié qu’il s’agissait d’un manque de transpar-ence. Nous voulons que l’information soit la même pour tous” a-t-il ajouté.Sa définition de la transpa-rence
«Nous ne voulons pas que les hôpitaux donnent des informations différentes, et nous pensons que pour que la popula-tion reçoive la bonne information, il faut une certaine standardisation. Nous pensons que ce message uniforme est essentiel pour bien informer la popula-tion. Nous désirons aussi que toute la population reçoive l’information au même moment et au bon moment».
Le programme RECYC-FRIGO, une initiative d’Hydro-Québec, est administré par le Consortium MRE ENVIRONNEMENT. Hydro-Québec fera parvenir un chèque de 60 $ au propriétaire de l’appareil, une fois celui-ci récupéré. Une limite de deux appareils par foyer s’applique. Hydro-Québec se réserve le droit de mettre fin à ce programme sans préavis. Certaines restrictions peuvent s’appliquer.

Villeray/St-Michel/Park Extension borough officials say they are doing their best to make sure a dispute between two
community groups doesn’t lead to the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding from Quebec next year for sports and recreation services provided free of charge to Park Extension’s youths.
Services for youthsNelson Osse, executive-director of
the Corporation des Loisirs du Parc, brought the issue to the attention of the borough council during its monthly meeting last week. The organization provides sports and recreation services free of charge to young people in Park Extension, using grant money provided by Québec en Forme.
The provincial agency, mandated to encourage physical fitness among Quebec’s children and adolescents, allots about $300,000 annually to a num-ber of sports and recreation groups in Park Extension, although the decisions are made partly in conjujnction with a so-called Table de Concertation, which is a local community discussion forum and coordination group.
A ‘dysfunctional’ TableBut for the past few years, according
to city councillor Mary Deros, the Table de Concertation hasn’t been function-ing well. “It’s been about two years that we’ve had a dysfunctional working Table,” she said in an interview with NPEN. “It sort of degenerated and it’s just not
working. And right now there are two groups that are trying to come up sepa-rately in competition with each other to try to work out their differences and reorganize.
“And at this point the organizations that are receiving the funds have been told in a letter from Québec en Forme that, unless things change, by September there’s a possibility they will no longer be funded. It’s not a small amount $300,000. This is a very serious matter because our children in Park Ex do need additional sports activities that are free. It’s healthy for them. It’s also good sportsmanship. They learn discipline.”
‘Things look positive’: DerosDeros said she had been aware for a
while of the dispute between the two competing groups and that some kind of action by Québec en Forme might even-tually ensue. In the meantime, she says she has spoken with department heads in the borough administration and they have been speaking with the agency to try and find a solution. “They assure me

that things look positive, that things will be worked out and we will retain this important investment for our young people,” Deros said.
During the same meeting, another issue affecting Park Extension came up. Feral cats, undomesticated felines which wander freely, are causing problems for some people. According to Park Ex resi-dent Mary McCutcheon, three genera-tions of feral cats were born under the exterior deck on the property of one of her neighbours in the past year. When she tried to capture some in order to take them to the SPCA, however, she found it was much more difficult than she imagined.
On further investigation, she discov-ered the SPCA wasn’t mandated to cap-ture the animals. The borough actu-ally has a contract for that task with the Berger Blanc animal control ser-vice which is located in Rivière des Prairies. In the meantime, a neighbour
has possibly been making the matter worse by feeding the cats. “Can some-thing be done to educate this lady,” said McCutcheon, noting that Berger Blanc has published leaflets showing graphi-cally how quickly cats propagate.
Cats eat mice, notes Deros“The population of feral cats in
Montreal isn’t just in Park Extension but everywhere, especially taking into account all the moving that took place recently and people who left cats behind,” said Borough Mayor Anie Samson. “It’s a big problem that we have, and we have yet to find a solution.”
Councillor Mary Deros isn’t com-pletely convinced that stray cats aren’t without some practical use. She suspects that the spread of mice and rats in Park Extension is being kept in check because of the large number of cats. “I prefer having cats in the alleyways and in the streets to maintain control of infestation by rats and mice which are everywhere,” she said.

A disagreement between two rival groups is largely responsible for a threatened funding cut from Quebec for sports and recreation services in Park Extension, according to city coun-cillor Mary Deros.
“The population of feral cats in Mon-treal isn’t just in Park Extension but everywhere,” says Borough Mayor Anie Samson.

Trudeau asks minister Kenney to reconsider Sheilkh’s deportationIn a letter written on July 13, 2009 to Immi-
gration Minister Jason Kenney, Papineau MP Justin Trudeau reaffirms his personal support for the non deportation of Sabir Mohammed Sheikh and Seema Sheikh.The entire letter is as follows:
The Honorable Jason KenneyMinister of Citizenship, Immigration and
MulticulturalismRe: Sabir Mohammed Sheikh and Seema
Sheikh Mr. Minister:I would like to extend my personal support to
Mr. Sabir Mohammed Sheikh and Mrs. Seema Sheik, residents of my riding and I would ask that you reconsider their request for staying in Canada with their family.
It is apparent that Sabir and Seema Sheikh and their children face life-threatening danger in Pakistan if they are forced to return. Even immigration authorities do not dispute the real danger the family faces in their home country.
Last Thursday, the family’s last legal attempt to halt their deportation was heard at the Federal Court. The judge upheld the deportation order for the parents, while granting an immediate stay for the children alone.
The deportation of Sabir and Seema Sheikh is devastating to the entire family’s future. Their five year-old Canadian born daughter is being denied her rights to live in a healthy home with her parents. The Sheikh family of four children is well integrated in their Parc Extension neigh-bourhood and are respected members of their community. The uprooting of Sabir and Seema Sheikh will not only affect the entire family, but it will also have a considerable impact on their community. I would kindly ask you to per-sonally get involved and review their situation.
Yours truly,
Justin P.J. TrudeauMember of ParliamentPapineau

Health Canada says it has found bisphenol A in baby foods sold in glass jars with metal lids but says the level is “extremely low and poses no health or safety concerns.”The department found that among the
products it tested where bisphenol A could be quantified, about 70 per cent had levels of less than one part per billion. That’s well below the limit of 600 parts per billion set by a directive for bisphenol A (BPA) in food.
In a survey posted on its website Thursday, Health Canada also said its testing found low levels in some 18.5-litre polycarbonate bottles of drinking water.
BPA is used to make epoxy resins in the pro-tective linings on the inside of metal lids and containers. The linings prevent corrosion of
the metal and contamination.The chemical also makes plastic hard and
shatterproof and is found in water bottles, as well as consumer products like CDs. Studies have shown the chemical can imitate the fe-male hormone estrogen, and it has been linked to cancer and infertility in animals.
Health Canada’s findings covered 122 baby foods prepackaged in glass jars with metal lids, representing seven brands by six differ-ent companies. The baby food was bought in Ottawa last August.
It found the BPA levels in different baby food products ranged from 0.19 parts per billion to a high of 7.22 parts per billion in one particular brand of strained organic carrots.The variation could be due to the differences
in metal lid coatings or sterilization condi-tions — temperature and duration — used for different baby food products, the report said.“The results of this survey clearly indicate that
exposure to BPA through the consumption of jarred baby food products would be extremely low,” the Health Canada analysis says.“The low levels of BPA found in jarred baby
products available for sale in Canada confirms Health Canada’s previous assessment conclu-sion that the current dietary exposure to BPA through food packaging uses is not expected to pose a health risk to the consumer.”Another survey of 38 canned powdered infant
formula products did not detect bisphenol A in any of them, Health Canada said.The bottled water testing included samples of
54 different products representing 21 brands by 16 companies. They were bought in Ottawa stores in April 2008.The containers were made of metal, glass,
high-density polyethylene, polyethylene tere-phthalate and polycarbonate.
Levels of BPA from the non-polycarbonate water products were below the “method de-tection limit” of 0.5 parts per billion. But bi-sphenol A was detected in 13 of 17 samples from four of the five polycarbonate bottled water products.
Concentrations ranged from 0.5 to a high of 8.82 parts per billion, with an average of 1.5 parts per billion.“Since migration of BPA from [polycarbonate]
containers into water at room temperature is very slow, it is likely that the products with higher BPA were exposed to heat (e.g., under the sun) during storage and/or transportation,” the report said.At a level of 1.5 parts per billion, an adult
weighing 60 kilograms would have to consume about 1,000 litres of bottled water in one day to approach Health Canada’s provisional tol-erable daily intake.
In a release issued by the Canadian Bottled Water Association on Thursday, executive director Elizabeth Griswold said the Health Canada study is “both validation and vindi-cation.”“It clearly demonstrates that bottled water
is a safe, healthy and portable alternative to other beverages,” Griswold said.
In October 2008, Canada became the first country in the world to ban the import and sale of polycarbonate baby bottles containing BPA, saying infants were more vulnerable than adults to such chemicals.The federal government also announced it
would devote $1.7 million over three years to study the chemical. Health Canada’s ongoing evaluation of bisphenol A has included a re-view of human and animal studies around the world, in addition to research into how much of the chemical is leaching from consumer products. The findings released Thursday are part of that research.
In March, Health Canada released a study of canned pop that found the vast majority of the drinks contain BPA, but said there was no health risk because levels were so low.
