  • July 17, 2020 Honourable Tyler Shandro Minister of Health Office Of
    July 17, 2020 Honourable Tyler Shandro Minister of Health Office of the Minister Health 423 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, AB T5K 2B6 via: [email protected] Dear Minister Shandro: From recent commentary, it appears to the Board and membership of the AMA that we need to be even more deliberate in our dealings with you and communicate officially in writing. Please accept this letter in that spirit. Several of the topics in this letter (specifically Bill 30 and Sunshine List), deserve a more comprehensive response which will be provided in future correspondence under separate cover. However, I did want to touch on these issues, at a high level, to provide you with a sense of the mindset of the medical community right now. Simply put, the relationship between Alberta’s physicians and the Minister of Health has never been this poor. Upon reading the initial draft of Bill 30, the response from many physicians was that this is a bit like uranium. In the right hands, the legislation could be used very constructively and accomplish some very good things. However, in the wrong hands, the legislation could cause tremendous harm to Alberta’s public health care system. The release of your letter to the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta has left many physicians questioning whether your actions are truly motivated by the public good or rather by an agenda to consolidate your own control over how medicine is practiced in this province. Putting aside the obvious legal implications of your letter to the College (and their impact on the mobility rights of physicians), the notion that a doctor would somehow be responsible for finding their own replacement if they find themselves in a position where they are unable to continue practicing - for whatever reason - is both repugnant and counter-productive.

    Public Registry of Designated Travellers In accordance with the Members By-law, a Member of the House of Commons may designate one person, other than the Member’s employee or another Member who is not the Member’s spouse, as their designated traveller. The Clerk of the House of Commons maintains the Public Registry of Designated Travellers. This list discloses each Member’s designated traveller. If a Member chooses not to have a designated traveller, that Member’s name does not appear on the Public Registry of Designated Travellers. The Registry may include former Members as it also contains the names of Members whose expenditures are reported in the Members’ Expenditures Report for the current fiscal year if they ceased to be a Member on or after April 1, 2015 (the start of the current fiscal year). Members are able to change their designated traveller once every 365 days, at the beginning of a new Parliament, or if the designated traveller dies. The Public Registry of Designated Travellers is updated on a quarterly basis. Registre public des voyageurs désignés Conformément au Règlement administratif relatif aux députés, un député de la Chambre des communes peut désigner une personne comme voyageur désigné sauf ses employés ou un député dont il n’est pas le conjoint. La greffière de la Chambre des communes tient le Registre public des voyageurs désignés. Cette liste indique le nom du voyageur désigné de chaque député.

  • Guide to Alberta's Governing Party
    Guide to Alberta’s Governing Party The Governing Party Cabinet BACKGROUND The Cabinet, also known as the Executive Council, is made up of the Premier and Cabinet Ministers. As head of the Executive Council, the Premier selects Cabinet Ministers from MLAs of the governing party to lead a Ministry. As such, citizens do not elect their Cabinet Ministers in direct elections. However, Cabinet Ministers are elected representatives of the Legislative Assembly and play an important role in our system of governance. (From CCVO’s Election Toolkit in the Chapter 4: Navigating the Alberta Government). On the following page is a list of those in the current Governing Party Cabinet, following the 2019 Alberta provincial election. Please take note of Ministries that are important to your organization’s mission and mandate. There are 21 Ministries and 2 Parliamentary Secretaries in total. Please find more information, including bios and priorities for each minister here. In addition to these important appointments listed on the following page, the government also announced deputy ministers. Deputy ministers are crucial contacts in ministries, as they are responsible for day-to-day operations and can be very valuable allies. Find a full list and bios of deputy ministers here.
