Marshall Smith’s departure is followed by a somewhat controversial addition
This week, it was all about personnel, with one big departure followed by a somewhat controversial addition.
Marshall Smith, who is not related to the Premier, has been described as a pioneer in the province’s approach to substance-use disorders, which heavily favours treatment and recovery above harm reduction.“After countless achievements, the Alberta Model is gaining international recognition and sweeping Canada as the common sense approach to addressing mental health and addiction,” the statement says.
“Without Marshall’s vision and knowledge this shift would not have been possible. Countless lives have been saved and improved thanks to his commitment and service to the people of Alberta, steering our governments response to the addiction crisis,” the Premier said.
