LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — Health Minister Fred Horne has fired the board that oversees Alberta’s health-care delivery over its refusal to cancel executive bonuses.
Horne said board members of Alberta Health Services were appointed to serve Albertans and taxpayers would find the extra cash payments “absolutely unacceptable.”
“When we appoint people to act on boards, they are serving the shareholder and that shareholder is Albertans, and Albertans are represented by the minister of health and other elected people,” he told a news conference in Lethbridge, where Premier Alison Redford and her cabinet were meeting.
