Supports repealing and replacing the HPOA, saying each medical specialty should govern itself without government-dominated boards.
- Asked by the HPOA candidate questionnaire (Psychologists of BC for Ethical Care and Governance): "Will you commit to repealing the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA) and replacing it with legislation, built with the professions and the public, that keeps politics out of health care?"
- Repeal and replace the HPOA
- Each medical specialty should govern its own profession
- The balance of appointed government members on boards is unbalanced
“The HPOA is a reckless piece of legislation. This forces a square in a circle peg. It doesn't work. 1. Each specialty in the medical profession have their own unique areas and do not have the appropriate knowledge to make decisions on the other's behalf. For example, a dentist doesn't know the ins and outs of what doctor knows and vice versa. 2. The government changing the number of professionals with the number of appointed government people is unbalanced. 3. The various colleges were there to protect the public not the government or the doctors.”
