Week ending 6 Nov 2009 Vol 24, No 12
Feature Article: The flu situation is straining the government's credibility on health, at a time when that credibility has already been stretched thin by the government's reluctance to talk about health matters.
Also in this week's edition:
- A compromise shapes up on Bill 50; a lot of landowners and voters are the only parties left out. (Enmax Corp. views on new transmission lines, AESO transmission plan, Independent power producers on transmission, PDF, 120 KB, Epcor on transmission, PDF, 12 KB)
- What did the Alberta Health Services CEO sign earlier this year when he was a member of Australia's national health reform commission? (Australian health reform commission)
- The government is looking around for spare change; there's a big collection in the Victims of Crime fund.
