Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is denying any interference in the reversal of Dr. Deena Hinshaw’s hiring earlier this month.
Smith touched on the issue on the most recent episode of Your Province Your Premier which aired on QR Calgary and 630 CHED on Saturday morning. “These are decisions that are made internally … I was briefed after the news became public,” Smith said. “It’s up to Dr. John Cowell to answer those questions.”
Global News reached out to AHS and Cowell with a request for comment on Saturday. AHS referred Global News to a previously issued statement on Thursday saying it doesn’t speak on personnel matters. “AHS doesn’t speak to personnel matters,” the statement read. “AHS remains firmly committed to working with Indigenous communities and will continue to work to provide culturally safe healthcare for all First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples throughout the province. ”This comes after it was reported on Thursday that Hinshaw, Alberta’s former Chief Medical Officer of Health, was set to begin working with the AHS’ Indigenous Wellness Core in May.
