No, the Minister’s responsible for the safety, transport and care that our patients are receiving when they travel on a medevac flight into the city of Edmonton. The weather was to blame for the flight being diverted to the International Airport, but there’s no excuse for a ground ambulance taking two hours to take that patient from the International Airport into the city of Edmonton to an emergency room.

There was no evidence of any political involvement by our Minister of Health on the closure of that airport, the impending closure of that airport, and that remains to me to be a real shame. I think the Minister has to be front and centre when these discussions are going on with the Province of

Alberta on how our patients are going to be handled when they land at the International Airport. I’d like to ask the Minister if she could provide an update to this House on the proposed plans to deal with medevac patients arriving at the International Airport in Edmonton.
