The Premier of B.C. is turning heads after a rather heated exchange over family doctor shortages while in Question Period in the B.C. Legislature Monday (April 25).
At the time of the incident, B.C. Liberal MLAs were pointing to Health Minister Adrian Dix and Premier John Horgan for inaction in response to a report that has found one-in-five British Columbians currently don香蕉视频直播檛 have a family doctor.
香蕉视频直播淎 million British Columbians are without a family doctor, and that is not acceptable,香蕉视频直播� Surrey-White Rock MLA Trevor Halford could be heard saying.
香蕉视频直播淲hen will this premier step up in this house and give British Columbians the reassurance they need that they will be supported by a family doctor?香蕉视频直播�
Horgan responded, asking: 香蕉视频直播淒o you want to hear it man, or do you just want to hear your voice? Why don香蕉视频直播檛 you go in the bathroom and talk to yourself in there, because you don香蕉视频直播檛 want to hear answers in this place.香蕉视频直播�
In clips showing the end of the exchange, Horgan can be seen waving his hand dismissively and says 香蕉视频直播淎w f香蕉视频直播�-.香蕉视频直播�
A 10-minute recess was called by House Speaker Raj Chouhan shortly after.
Since the afternoon debate, the Liberals have asked for an apology, while Horgan took to Twitter acknowledging the slip-up, writing: 香蕉视频直播淚f my mom was still around, she香蕉视频直播檇 be on her way to the Legislature with a bar of Irish Spring.香蕉视频直播�
An online petition calling on the province to take action on the doctor shortage has been signed by more 31,000 people since it was launched three months ago.
Victoria and Kelowna residents face the longest wait times to access doctors via walk-in clinics, according to a report last week from Medimap, a Canadian tech company that allows patients to see wait times at various clinics virtually and in some regions check in virtually, as well.
If my mom was still around, she'd be on her way to the Legislature with a bar of Irish Spring.
