MLA Drew Barnes on Dr. Verna Yiu and AHS, UCP leadership and HALO’s big day

MEDICINE HAT, AB – Cypress-Medicine Hat MLA Drew Barnes says Dr. Verna Yiu’s departure as president and CEO of Alberta Health Services presents an opportunity for the province to create a health system that’s more region-based and more transparent.

Barnes spoke with CHAT News shortly after the news about Yiu broke on Monday morning.

Barnes also shared his thoughts on the premier’s leadership review, the political returns of Brian Jean and Danielle Smith, and HALO Air Ambulance finally getting last week what it has wanted since its inception.
