Mr. Ellis: We are working with them to put 50 police officers on the streets of Calgary, 50 police officers on the streets of Edmonton, and I can tell you right now that we are less safe in this country and in this province because of the NDP and their alliance with the federal Liberals.

Mr. Ellis: The Calgary Police Service is known as a reliable, progressive, and integrated member of the community. Recently there was a motion brought forward by city councillors to defund the police, as per the wishes of the radical left, and reallocate those funds. Embarrassingly, the majority of city council voted in favour of this motion. Minister, what are you doing to ensure that money provided by the province is actually going to the police to protect citizens, which is the primary function of any level of government, and not a cohort of politicians that literally have no plan? [interjections]
The Speaker: Order. Order.
Mr. Madu: Mr. Speaker, it is regrettable that some within city council have decided to join with the radical left, who are calling to defund the police. But to be clear, policing within the city of Calgary is an area of shared responsibility between municipal and provincial leaders. For that reason, our government provides two grants to the city of Calgary to support the Calgary Police Service. I can confirm that none of these grants have been reduced by a penny. I trust that city council will listen to its citizens who do support the police over a small group of radical activists who do not.

Ms Hoffman: I hear and understand all that. Is the minister going to provide a response to us about what those individual allocations are? That’s what I’ve asked for.
The Acting Chair: The question has been asked through me to the minister and the ministry.
Member LaGrange: The answer would be no.

The Chair: Hey, we can have fun, right?

Mr. Neudorf: If this isn’t covered in the college of physicians, then if there is a professional body provincially for dentists, I would like to make sure that that is added to the list.
The Chair: Okay. Is there a dentists’ association? Well, we’ll find out if there is a dentists’ association of some kind.

Mr. Ellis: When I hear numbers like only 30 per cent of the total number of physicians voted and that, you know, 89 per cent of the 30 per cent voted yes, which – again, no math major, Madam Speaker. From my perspective it appears to be a low number of physicians that actually participated in this vote and this consultation. I certainly would like to know if all doctors – and I think this is important, especially because it affects all doctors – were consulted and were at least made aware of an important bill such as this.
Ms Hoffman: I know that the Member for Calgary-West was elected in 2014. I looked up the by-election results. There was a 35.7 per cent voter turnout, and that member got 44 per cent of the vote for those who turned out. And he rightfully was the person to receive the most votes. Even though only 35.7 per cent of voters turned out, he certainly earned his seat in this Chamber. I don’t think anyone would say that he should go to committee and consult with people from his constituency before he can have the opportunity to represent folks.

Mr. Ellis: Minister, will you commit to allowing educators to receive training to recognize low blood sugar symptoms and administer life-saving insulin to diabetic students?
The Speaker: The hon. Minister of Education.
Dr. Starke: You don’t give insulin for low blood sugar.
Mr. Eggen: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. An interesting medical diagnosis going on here on the floor of the Legislature...
The Speaker: Thank you, hon. minister. The hon. member. [interjections]
Mr. Ellis: Yeah. Sorry, Mr. Speaker. I’m just trying to help kids. I’m not a vet or a doctor.

Mr. Ellis: The NDP don’t believe that an offender is a person who should go to jail. What they believe is that that offender is actually the victim of an oppressed society, and through intensive counselling and social work, Mr. Speaker, and maybe sprinkle in a little bit of taxpayer-funded drugs and a safe place to use those drugs, somehow, in the NDP fantasyland, everything is going to be okay.
