Mr. Speaker, I have spent time with the member on the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs and enjoyed working with him there.
Today what we really need to focus on, though, is the fact that Alberta has the highest active rate in this whole country. There are 508 active cases per every 100,000 people, and the next highest province is Ontario with 252. These numbers are terrifying and staggering, and I cannot imagine the fear and concern happening in Alberta.
We know that right now for the first time in history Alberta's doctors are literally being given emergency instructions on how to determine whether patients will receive life-saving treatment or not. I just cannot imagine making that decision as a health care provider.
Could this member please tell us when the Liberal government is going to step up and step in to protect Albertans?
