Doctors are protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which supersedes all other authorities. The CPSA should encourage a diversity of medical opinions to serve the interests of all Albertans and to retain and increase the number of doctors wanting to work in Alberta. Emphasis should be on providing timely care for those on wait lists taking months and years for treatment of orthopaedic, heart, cancer etc and not on reducing the number of doctors because they can’t in good conscience be involved in assisted suicide or abortions.
