“Oliver Wildfong, OneBC, Surrey City Centre. Yes, I commit to repeal and replace. Health professionals should be regulated by people who understand their work, not by boards hand-picked by the health minister. Patients deserve strong oversight, but it has to be independent, transparent and free from political influence, with a fair right of appeal. I'd support replacement legislation built with the professions and the public, not imposed on them.”
