The Alberta government introduces a bill to dismantle Alberta Health Services and form Recovery Alberta plus three other agencies, overseen by Health Minister Adriana LaGrange. The plan aims for improved efficiency and patient care, with about 10,000 staff affected and no immediate job losses promised. Opposition critics warn of centralized control and fragmented care as unions challenge the shift.
