I first became involved in politics in the aftermath of my daughter suffering a permanent brain injury due to medical negligence. My wife and I fought tirelessly for a better healthcare system to ensure that no other family will have to suffer what our family still endures. Throughout this process, I learned the value of political participation and that anybody can make a difference for the better in this province.

Beverly-Clareview deserve better facilities plain and simple. When minutes count, a twenty minute drive to a bigger facility is cutting it just TOO close. We have the best front line medical workers in Alberta and need to lower the burden and stress on them by providing the needed support, so they can focus on providing the best care possible. Providing a more affordable education for health care workers, working with front line workers to find real world, tangible solutions to help reduce burnout and to listen and learn then adjust is how I will serve.

A Green Party of Alberta government will support changes that would see the cost of prescription drugs covered by our provincial healthcare program. A Green Party of Alberta government will recognize that the costs to government of providing pharmacare will be less if implementation of this program is put in place and coordinated across the country. For example, the provinces will be able to get a better price on many drugs if they purchase them jointly rather than province by province. Accordingly, the Green Party strongly supports a pan-Canadian approach to implementation of pharmacare but wants to see the province of Alberta show leadership on this issue.
