The anaesthetists agree to returnOn May 24, 1994 the anaesthetists who were members of the section of pediatric anaesthesia issued a memorandum to Wiseman (with copies to Craig and Blanchard). This memorandum stated that a "workable method of conducting reviews and development" appeared to have been established. It concluded that "We agreed to resume cardiac anesthesia under the conditions discussed by the Committee on May 18, 1994." (Exhibit 19, Document 243) Those conditions included one that specifically required that only low-risk cases be done in Winnipeg until the review was complete, that anything other than low-risk cases be deferred or transferred and that emergency neonatal cases be sent to Saskatoon.
