Wednesday morning, a long chapter in the ongoing saga of “preferential” access within Alberta Health Services will come to a close.
It’s been a long haul for many who have been involved, particularly Lead Counsel Michele Hollins, whose confident they’ve fulfilled their mandate.
“We’re very pleased with the evidence that’s been found and presented and with the work that’s been done and hope that will result in some meaningful recommendations to the government,” she tells 660News.
“I think that all of us have struggled a bit with what the appropriate parameters were,” Hollins adds. “The scope of any inquiry is inevitably the most difficult and most important part of what is in and what is out.”
After each stakeholder makes their final report to the Justice, Commissioner John Vertes will then assemble the transcripts and evidence to draft his report.
He has until August 31st 2013 to make his final recommendations.
