In the cover story that appeared in the December issue of Canadian Family Physician,1 an error was inadvertently introduced in the section on Dr Brian Day’s court challenge. This section should have read as follows:
Dr Day’s challenge claims that provincial health legislation, which limits private funding and extra billing for medically necessary services, violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Canadian Family Physician apologizes for this error and any confusion it might have caused.
