“I’d say we need to use the tools that we have at the federal level to protect the health care system. We need to make sure we’re using the Canada Health Act to protect Albertans and make sure Albertans get the care they need,” Singh said. “The federal government needs to step up and do what it can to properly fund and resource health care services… We want to make sure health care is there for everybody.770 CHQR reached out to Smith’s office with a request for comment.
