EDMONTON — Premier Rachel Notley’s government is considering legislation to strengthen public health care when the house resumes sitting next week.
Health Minister Sarah Hoffman, speaking to reporters, wouldn’t confirm it will be Bill 1, but says she is working on legislation to strengthen the public health system.
The bill could be introduced and debated or abandoned if Notley decides to drop the writ after Monday’s throne speech to launch a 28-day election campaign.
Notley’s NDP has already signalled that it wants to make health care a campaign wedge issue with Jason Kenney’s United Conservatives.
