Pursuant to the August 24, 2020, memo by the hon. Speaker During the pandemic access to safe abortion services was deemed Cooper I would remind everyone that outside of those who have an so essential to overall population health outcomes that the World exemption, those observing the proceedings of the Assembly or its Health Organization issued a global alert to all governments to make committees are required to wear face coverings. Based on the it a priority. As Dr. Jeanne Conry, president of the International recommendations from the chief medical officer of health regarding Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, put it, and I quote: abortion physical distancing, attendees at today’s meeting are reminded to access is critical; women need access, or we will see more maternal leave the appropriate distance between themselves and other mortality. That is the professional and scientific view of saying that meeting participants. more women will die. Let me repeat this. I think it’s a critical issue. PHR-144 Public Health Act Review September 30, 2020 There were a couple of things, I think, that came up yesterday stated, which is what I was hoping for clarity on, that she and her about whether this was the correct place for this to be, so I think it’s constituents are opposed to abortion, which in today’s day and age worth saying that the science and the evidence on whether this I find shocking.

The Constitution, which governs the laws As the courts have determined, this is something that is legal in of this land, assigns provision of medical services to the province, Canada, and this is something that is, as my colleague argued, such so it is squarely within the domain of Alberta to legislate on this a foundation of population/public health in making sure that matter. I think that we’ve seen a number of people come forward in women’s maternal health and all reproductive health are something their testimony here and ask us to broaden this act. I know that that is universally accessible. That is a big part that determines, has certainly some have commented on why this isn’t a broader motion, direct connections between being able to access reproductive health and I think I would refer us back to the motion that was brought services and many other socioeconomic factors as well as social forward yesterday, which was a broader motion, which was a factors in general. Making sure that we are moving forward on motion to ensure that the act recognizes access to universal public providing good public health – and I know that has been mentioned health care as a determinant of health.

Our municipality was neither informed nor considered while this decision has been progressing. Multiple municipalities from Nonhern Alberta met with Minister Hoffman (Apri|18) to voice our concerns and were assured that we would be advised/consulted/informedbefore any decision was made. It was very disheartening to hear from Gordon Bates (Executive Director — Air Ambulance Services) at AHS, that a decision to award the contract to a single proponent was imminent. This bad decision will be very devastating for the residents of Northern Alberta for the following reasons: - Key components of the RFP process have been completely ignored. For example, one of the criteria identified within the RFP was the condition that hangar space he provided at the air base. The successful proponent does not have hangar space as there is no available space to be had. This calls the entire RFP process into question. Ifthere is no hangar space available, response time will increase as the service will have to come from some other community. Since Peace River had the most Air Ambulance flights last year (1400+), it seems counter-intuitive to bring the planes from outside the community.
