Alberta NDP demand more accountability, transparency from UCP on healthcare crisis

Is Alberta’s health care crisis growing?  According to the province’s opposition NDP, it is.  Health Critic David Shepherd and Finance Critic Shannon Phillips quoted Health Minister Jason Copping saying that Alberta’s health care system is operating ‘near normal’. However they argue that this is not really the case.

Bridge City News reached out to the office of Health Minister Jason Copping for comment but have yet to hear back.
