While the NDP begin their next attempt to try and scare Albertans, there are a few things that are helpful to keep in mind.

First is that in the 2019 Budget, the Government of Alberta has budgeted roughly $300M more for Health than was spent last year. 1/x #ableg
What that means is that we are keeping our promise to Albertans to maintain or increase healthcare spending.

What we are also doing is keeping our promise to be responsible managers of taxpayers money, finding efficiencies and prioritizing front line services. 2/x #ableg
In fact, the Minister of Health has already begun a comprehensive audit of Alberta Health Services which will be completed in the coming weeks. That audit will provide a blueprint of where we can find efficiencies and move resources to help patients. 3/x #ableg
It is true in this process there will be a need to implement changes to staffing. As our Government has always said we will seek to implement these primarily through attrition. We value our public sector workers and their contributions. 4/x #ableg
Albertan hired us to do a job, they hired us to deliver more efficient government, they hired us to get our house in order, they hired us to balance the budget so that we can ensure the sustainability of critical government services.

We will deliver for Albertans. 5/5 #ableg
