Controversies[]
Alberta Health Services[]
In September 2021, Getson criticized Alberta Health Services and their executives for not increasing capacity to handle the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. He said that the policy of Vaccine Passport was a distraction to keep accountability off of AHS. This was criticized by the opposition Alberta New Democratic Party for not raising concerns about staffing prior to the increase in ICU cases.[2]
