MLA and health critic Michelle Beaton speaks to Green Leader Peter Bevan-Baker in Charlottetown in July 2022. - Alison JenkinsPeter Bevan-Baker, leader of P.E.I.'s Official Opposition Green caucus and MLA New Haven-Rocky Point, submitted the following opinion article.
All of these stories I am hearing from Islanders are also being shared with Premier King and Health Minister Ernie Hudson. For the life of me I cannot understand how they can listen to these stories, while holding the power in their hands to make things better, and just choose not to. Knowing all of this, I read with interest comments made by Minister Hudson on the recent resignation of Mr. Key.
Premier King has been warned about this for the last four years — by health-care workers, unions, patients and the Official Opposition Green caucus. Even now, as we watch our health-care workers burn out and our system crumble, he refuses to let go of that power. Did you know Minister Hudson was the health minister for the entirety of Mr. Key’s career as Health P.E.I. Board chair? It seems the minister has been completely absent in response to the concerns raised by the chair. In fact, Mr. Key identified these concerns at the Health P.E.I. AGM in 2021 and again in 2022, yet it took a resignation letter before the minister would commit to having his department “delve into [the concerns], to have those discussions, to review.
