A nationwide warrant has been issued for a suspect associated with the fire that broke out at Centre Métropolitain de Chirurgie in Montreal earlier this month.

Jayne Ellen Heideck, 42, from Kelowna is wanted in connection with the fire that has cost the medical center damages estimated to be around $700,000.

The clinic, which is the only one in Canada that performs gender reassignment surgery (GRS) among other medical procedures much needed by the transgender community, is forced to close after the incident.
