Dave Taylor, MLA for Calgary-Currie, speaks on behalf of several brain-injured clients in Calgary that are on the verge of losing their homes. Taylor says, "A number of severely brain-injured people in Calgary are being forced out of the residences that they've called home for up to 11 years because Alberta Health Services in Calgary put out an RFP this summer on all bids for the brain injured under their authority. The RFP was developed without any consultation with the personal care home operators or the families of their clients and at that time proposed to lower funding by up to 68 per cent. The RFP has since been amended five times. To the Premier: since other government pro-grams like PDD have an ongoing consultation process in place, is it not against government practice to develop an RFP involving vulnerable people like this behind closed doors?"
