He was appointed to that post by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He is also the former chief of Canada&#8217;s McGill University Health Center, a job he left in 2011 amid allegations of mismanagement.<\/p>\n<p>In the Bahamas, Porter is managing director of a private cancer treatment centre in the islands&#8217; capital of Nassau. He has made the upscale, gated community of Old Fort Bay his permanent residence since moving to the archipelago off the eastern coast of Florida in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Frederick Laurence, spokeswoman for Canada&#8217;s anti-corruption police, said extradition request procedures were &#8220;under way.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada&#8217;s anti-corruption police issued an arrest warrant for physician Dr. Arthur Porter, who faces six fraud-related charges related to the construction of a Montreal hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[93,38],"class_list":["post-32275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-headlines","tag-corruption","tag-police"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32275\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
