BTW, one of the major contributors to the lack of OR time, are the restrictive labour practices of the unions involved around the operating rooms in Canada.
Did you know that if the OR nurses have to stay an extra 15 minutes past their shift times, that they have to be paid for 4 hours of overtime?
The actual hours during which operations are taking place are constrained by the OR staff taking up to one hour to get moving after their reports and coffee breaks and the need to be actually walking out of the door at the end of their shift times. 
Patients requiring urgent surgeries are put off over and over, with prolonged starving in case they actually get to the OR because of these practices, and then end up having their operations in the middle of the night (with adverse consequences and complications 4 to 5 times the rates they would have with daytime surgery) because of this.
The operating rooms are there, they are not utilised fully because of unions in the healthcare system.
