Budget 2024
We began sitting for the Spring 2024 Session of the Legislature on February 28, 2024, and the government introduced the 2024 Alberta budget.
As Official Opposition Health Critic, I will be taking a lead role in scrutinizing the health budget. To prepare for this, I’m consulting with healthcare experts, frontline workers across the province, and everyday Albertans trying to access healthcare. In this budget, I will be looking for a long-term, evidence-based plan that makes the most effective use of money to recruit and retain health care workers, and to improve access and quality of care.
We cannot effectively increase spaces to care for people without enough staff. We must immediately focus on retention of our workforce. We cannot let the system crumble further.
Town Halls
On February 24, I hosted a “Your Pension Is Yours” town hall, to give constituents such as yourself a chance to share your thoughts on changes to the CPP. It remains clear that the vast majority of Albertans just do not want Alberta to leave the CPP, nor do they want politicians having control over their hard-earned retirement money.
On Thursday, March 21, I will be hosting a Health Care Town Hall in Parkdale, with an open house from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, and a town hall at 6:00 pm With government health care reforms looming, and the system crumbling, there needs to be a serious refocus of the reforms to support frontline workers. I want to hear from the health care workers, the people who have been affected by this crisis, and you. If you are interested in attending, you can find more information at linktr.ee/mlametz, or email my constituency office at [email protected].
