New BC Law
Gags Healthcare Workers
By Ruth Magnusson Davis
Mar. 1, 2023

"By this new law, the BC government encroaches upon the professional autonomy of healthcare workers and their governing bodies. It also removes hitherto protected rights of bodily autonomy for the workers. It also threatens their livelihood if they, for any number of valid reasons, believe they should not or cannot comply with government dictates. All this destroys proper democratic functioning. Further, since healthcare workers can be fined or imprisoned for providing information or advice that the government deems misleading, the government is now, in effect, the people's doctor through coercion: only its opinion is allowed. Further, patients are effectively barred from seeking a second opinion concerning taboo topics."

Severe Health Care Restrictions
Coming to a Province Near You
By Ingrid Pincott
Oct. 1, 2023

"The new Act compresses 15 Health Professional Colleges into more or less 6 College boards, with all board members being directly or indirectly appointed by the minister. When challenged, Health Minister Adrian Dix replied: The Minister appoints because the Minister appoints. Previously approximately 50% of these College boards were health professionals elected by their membership and now 100% will be appointed. This makes the board ripe for political interference. The Act allows the government to suddenly seize a patient's records, close a doctor's office without investigation, and persecute a doctor based on an anonymous complaint. This will affect doctors, naturopaths, nurses, chiropractors, dentists, optometrists, and all other healthcare professionals in British Columbia."

Click here to read the transcript from the Legislative Assembly (Thursday, May 4, 2023 10:40 a.m.) of John Rustad discuss the IMPLEMENTATION OF HEALTH PROFESSIONS LEGISLATION AND CONSULTATION BY GOVERNMENT. The text of John Rustad's question in parliament is below:

J. Rustad: As I mentioned in my introduction, in the gallery today with the health care professionals that are here. I just thought I would highlight some of the people that are here, that come as far away as Nelson, come from across the Lower Mainland, across the Island, include many doctors, family doctors, radiologists, surgeons, naturopaths, other people - for example, traditional medicine - many nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and so many more. There are many outside as well.

They've all come here today because they have a concern with Bill 36. They have a concern with our health care system. They're here today to express those concerns. In particular, they're concerned about the privacy of individuals and their patients' records.

They're concerned about the ability to be able to provide professional medical advice based on their experience. They're concerned about, of course, the crisis in B.C.'s health care system. They think Bill 36 is a massive overreach by government that will only cause additional problems in our health care system.

I've asked the Minister of Health to pause the implementation of Bill 36 and to do a comprehensive engagement with the health care professionals across this province.

To the Premier: since the minister won't commit to doing this, will you instruct the Minister of Health to stop the implementation of Bill 36 until a full and comprehensive engagement with health care professionals across B.C. has been undertaken?

Hon. A. Dix responds

J. Rustad: I thank the minister for that answer.

The engagement that he talks about, this broad engagement, did not include the full scope of what's in Bill 36. That engagement with the opposition members did not include the full scope of what is in that bill.

There is a crisis in our health care system today. These professionals have taken time out of their profession, away from being able to provide the services. They have taken time away from their family. They've travelled across the province to be here to express their concern because they have a legitimate concern about our health care system in the province of British Columbia. They have a legitimate concern for their patients.

To me, to the thousands of people that signed the petition that I will be introducing after question period today. They have expressed these concerns. They want answers. They are angry. And I can tell you, the health professionals here - they want to be part of the answer. They want to be part of being able to provide better services. They don't want this government to be making them an enemy.

Two parts to this question. The first is an ask of the minister to meet with these health care professionals that are here, and the ones that are outside, to be able to answer questions that they have around this. But most importantly, there is a large list of questions that these health care providers have gone through. This is a very large bill. They have gone through it in detail. They've provided these questions to the minister.

I want to ask the Premier if he will commit today to asking his minister to answer these questions so these health care providers can be fully engaged and to pause going forward with Bill 36 until that full engagement can be had and we can assure the people in this province at our health care system will be improved and not damaged by Bill 36.

Hon. A. Dix responds

The Future of Medicine
By Alan Brough
Jan. 1, 2024

"By the end of 2020, this complete embracement of Rockefeller or Allopathic medicine controls education to ensure a modern paradigm of medicine that treats symptoms. And we are awash with pharmaceutical drugs and more vaccines than we know what to do with - great for Big Business, Big Pharma and Big Marketing. And then along came the COVID-19 vaccines, which ramped everything up even further. We had to contend with having an untested and dangerous vaccine forced upon every one of us. The medical colleges and associations with almost every educational institute and media channel further consolidated Big Pharma's grip on centralized healthcare."
