Ms Wright: A government that uses the notwithstanding clause to put off difficult things, like constitutionality of legislation, for five years is a government that isn’t serious about governing. A government that’s willing to sacrifice the rights of its citizens for political expedience is a government that is about authoritarian control and power, which is the furthest thing, Mr. Speaker, from good governance. During question period today the minister of education declared that you don’t want labour issues. Well, Minister, you’ve got them now.

Ms Wright: The second tabling I have is a collection of stories that was collected by BuzzFeed, all about the American insurance system and what it’s meant for folks.

Ms Wright: This suite of bills, including bills 27 and 29, are all about being harmful to an incredibly vulnerable group of kids. As a result of that, I am baffled. I am dumbfounded as to why a government is making this a priority. I truly, truly don’t understand. I hearken back to conversations I had with my parents many, many years ago when something was happening in the world and I was a wee bit confused about it. I would often ask that question: why are they doing this now? That’s the question I need to ask this government. Why are you doing this now? Why are you picking on an incredibly vulnerable group of kids? Why are you doing this to this group of children?
The Deputy Speaker: Hon. member, please direct your comments to me and through me, not to “you” or any particular member.
Ms Wright: Yes. Sorry, Madam Speaker.

Ms Wright: Many families can’t afford the high costs of Blue Cross coverage, copays, and dispensing fees, which means being forced to pay out of pocket when you can’t afford it. When can Albertans expect this government to begin negotiations with the federal government and secure a deal on diabetes coverage, one that truly benefits Albertans, especially children with type 1 diabetes?
Member LaGrange: In fact, we are working very diligently to come up with real solutions for diabetes care. In fact, we have one of the most comprehensive pharmacare programs currently in existence, with over 5,000 drugs covered. There are drugs for diabetes covered in those. We’re working with a diabetes working group that has provided recommendations on how we can further enhance the coverages that we do have in Alberta.
Ms Wright: Mr. Speaker, insurance is not pharmacare.

Ms Wright: In many ways with this legislation in addition to other bills, including Bill 20, this UCP government to me seems to be in some sort of contest to become the world’s worst sort of helicopter parent. It’s not even an implication. It’s entirely clear. This government believes itself to be the only group, the only organization, the only entity capable of acting in the best interests of those who live here, except, of course, with one particular problem: that it doesn’t actually want to hear and reflect upon what all of those folks are saying and what they are grappling with daily. It’s an incredibly paternalistic and authoritarian response to the very real issues that exist today.

Ms Wright: Given that the minister has mused publicly about using sheriffs to fill the role of police officers and given that I’ve reached out to stakeholders who characterized the announcement as a surprise and who have reported back that they don’t know of a single sheriff who was consulted in advance, how many provincial sheriffs did the minister consult with? If not workers, who is this government listening to?
Mr. Ellis: You know, Mr. Speaker, I know it’s tough for folks to understand when you’re from Edmonton and Calgary, a municipality where, when you call 911, the police actually show up to the call, but these are some of the challenges that people face in rural Alberta. There are times in the night, actually, where there’s no police coverage. There are times in the night where 911 is called and an officer might not come. We are continuing to try to augment and support our RCMP. We’re continuing to try to augment and support policing right here in Alberta. So I think that if the member opposite and the members opposite want to support policing, want to support law enforcement and public safety, they need to support the bill.
Ms Wright: Mr. Speaker, just wondering who the minister talked with.
