LaGrange said a final dollar number was still in negotiations with OMERS, the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, and North Carolina-based Laboratory Corporation of America , and final details on the AHS contracts are still being worked out.“As we move forward, we will be able to make that readily available to the public. We want to be transparent,” she said.

“You will still go to the same facilities you go to today. You will still book appointments through the same system you use today. Existing appointments you have already booked will not be impacted and you will still see the same frontline staff you see today,” LaGrange said, noting there will be no job losses to frontline staff.
