Guest: Megan Ogilvie and Kenyon Wallace, reporters

A group of orthopedic surgeons is leasing operating rooms from Ottawa's biggest hospital. It's a controversial move that the company says will help alleviate surgery wait-times in the province. But health care advocates are concerned and want more information about the arrangement. Why is a private corporation operating inside a public hospital? And will we see more of this in the future?

This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
