Ex-Reform leader Preston Manning picked to chair review of Alberta’s COVID-19 response
“There are valuable lessons we learned from the Alberta government’s response to the COVID-19 public health emergency,” Smith said in the statement Thursday.“It’s important that we apply those lessons to strengthen our management of future public health crises, and the panel’s recommendations will be key in doing so.
A spokesperson for the premier’s office told Global News in an email that Manning was chosen because of his “very strong record of public service and significant experience as a leading policy expert.” She said Manning “will assemble a panel that has well-rounded expertise to develop sound recommendations to the government.
“To avoid perceived conflict of interest, Mr. Manning has stepped aside as public spokesperson for the National Citizen’s Inquiry.” In November 2022, Manning announced the formation of an “independent, national, citizen-led inquiry into what went right, what went wrong and most importantly for the future, what lessons can be learned,” about Canada’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
