The NDP is questioning whether the long-promised public health science advisory panel exists or ever will.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s long-promised public health science advisory panel, which has been beset by slipped deadlines and confusing messaging, has the NDP Opposition questioning whether it exists or ever will.
Notley said if the panel has been created, she wants to know who is dispensing advice, given Smith’s public embrace of COVID-19 pseudo-science and of those who share her criticisms of pandemic measures, including former Reform Party leader Preston Manning.Alberta NDP says it would scrap COVID-19 review panel if party wins election
Smith has blamed Hinshaw and Alberta Health Services for failing to provide the best advice and resources to the government during the pandemic, forcing it to impose restrictions. “I’ve got a group of doctors advising me and I know that they’ve already reached out to Dr. Paul Alexander, so I’m interested in hearing what he has to say,” Smith told a debate forum for the Brooks-Medicine Hat byelection on Nov. 3.
