Oh, and by the way ... there are already 31 Da Vinci surgical robots in Canada. 

And according to Kelly Grant's piece titled  "How Ontario put the future of operating-room robots in question", published in the Globe and last updated 2017-8-8 ...

Dr. Adili, Dr. Shayegan and their colleagues at the Boris Family Centre for Robotic Surgery – named for the founders of Mountain Cablevision, who donated $10-million to fund the centre – run a research program designed to produce high-quality evidence on robotics. 

Just last month, Vancouver General Hospital announced with fanfare that it would be getting a new da Vinci surgical system, thanks in part to a $1-million gift. 

Vancouver General is the only hospital in British Columbia with a da Vinci system. Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal and Quebec City all have at least one surgical robot. 

The rest are in Ontario, where, in most cases, philanthropic funds are covering the extra operating costs.
