We called it. David Eby lied to the voters, promising $1,000 for everyone right away. Now he says it won’t happen. He even mocked our plan to allow British Columbians to write off their rent and mortgage, saving them thousands. He called it “the Rustad long wait,” and clutched his pearls over the need for immediate relief. Now that he’s in power and he’s given all his MLAs a pay raise, he’s going to give you nothing. David Eby and the BC NDP don’t care about British Columbians—they will happily lie to you, while stuffing their own pockets. We need change.

I have read various media stories containing allegations regarding the procurement and contracting processes of AHS. They are troubling allegations and they should be reviewed as quickly as possible.   To that end, I will be writing Auditor General Doug Wylie to ask for an expedited review and his findings on this issue.  I have also directed my officials to ensure that any request for information from Mr. Wylie or his office is dealt with on a fully transparent and expedited basis. We need to get to the bottom of this issue quickly to identify any potential wrongdoing, correct it, and address it appropriately. I have also asked that AHS’s internal review be completed as quickly as possible and delivered directly to me so we can study the results and make improvements or adjustments to these processes. Until these findings are delivered, AHS has paused the contracting for the surgical facilities under review.   As Premier, I was not involved in any wrongdoing. Any insinuation to the contrary is false, baseless and defamatory. It’s no secret I have been unhappy with the level and quality of service delivered by AHS and in the inability of AHS to deliver quality and timely healthcare to Albertans. I will continue to relentlessly push forward to make improvements. Although that has required difficult decisions and major change, I do not accept the current results. There is a widespread and deep-seated resistance to change that we must overcome.   That’s my goal: better healthcare for all.
