Earlier this month I had opportunity to meet with Hugh McFadyen, Manitoba PC Leader, to discuss issues related to emergency medical services in Manitoba. Mr. McFadyen and opposition Health Critic Myrna Driedger listened intently as we briefed them on concerns surrounding the Winnipeg fire/paramedic amalgamation, the need for more centralized management of Manitoba's EMS system and our pursuit of legislation for paramedic self-regulation.
Following the hour-long meeting, Mr. McFadyen assured us that his party would look to PAM for input on health issues as they prepare their platform for the next provincial election. He also indicated that he supported the concept of self-regulation and would be prepared to work with all stakeholders in our efforts to bring that to a successful conclusion.
