Health-care protest hits Alta. legislature

[CHIMO]

Public health-care advocates from across the country took their cause to the steps of the Alberta legislature on Saturday.

Friends of Medicare, a provincial lobby group, organized the event in the wake of concerns the Tories are planning to further privatize the province's health-care system.

Vancouver MP and federal Health Critic Ujjal Dosanjh said even though health care is a provincial responsibility, the country needs to keep an eye on what's happening in Alberta.

"I'm worried about the larger implicit opening for privatization," he said.
