Kenney to scrap plans for Edmonton medical superlab
EDMONTON- Opposition Leader Jason Kenney says a United Conservative government would scrap a medical superlab set to be built in Edmonton.
Kenney says the superlab is nothing more than what he calls a bureaucratic “boondoggle” to reorganize lab tests that are already handled effectively by the private sector.
He says cancelling the superlab would save taxpayers $590 million, which could be directed to front-line care.
Kenney also says his party would pause government plans to put all lab tests under direct government control.
