Renee Merrifield is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2020 British Columbia general election.[2] She represents the electoral district of Kelowna-Mission as a member of the British Columbia Liberal Party. She was appointed as the Official Opposition Critic for Health, replacing former Health critic Norm Letnick the MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country.[3] During the COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia, Merrifield raised concerns the lack of using rapid tests to prevent virus spread into long-term care homes.[4] At the time the Provincial NDP Government and Health Minister Adrian Dix refused to use rapid tests to attempt to test asymptomatic individuals.[citation needed]
