I am not clear on why the emergency-care exemption from holding a CPSA license is needed. Surely any telehealth / virtual care service requires setup and provisioning, and obtaining a CPSA license is an essential part of that process. Are we so desperate that we need to allow unlicensed providers in any setting at all? My concern is that this is a wedge or slippery slope which could allow unlicensed providers to provide large amounts of loosely-interpreted 'emergency' care in Alberta. I would prefer to remove this exemption.
