Danielle Smith Commissioned the Report. Why Aren’t Its Recommendations Being Followed?
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Shawn Buckley
COVID vaccine injury compensation is being questioned in Parliament, while Alberta Premier Danielle Smith faces scrutiny over her government's vaccination policies. Lawyer Shawn Buckley returns to discuss the fallout from the Allison Inquiry, concerns about how federal compensation funds were spent, and why he believes Alberta's expanded vaccination programs conflict with recommendations from its own COVID-19 task force. Allan and Corri also examine the influence of health bureaucracies on government decisions, an upcoming Allison Inquiry announcement, and the latest effort to save Bill C-224.
