Current-State-of-Telemedicine

The lack of family doctors, and the wait times to see a doctor are two big issues that have been around for a long time.

rally-amalgamation-support-small-communities

It is clear that the Municipal Government Act targets small communities.  Small municipalities are targeted for amalgamation and/or dissolution. Unincorporated communities are targeted for annexation. In Spring 2018 the entire Liberal caucus voted down my Private Members Bill (Bill 111).
