He seems to like to downplay the situation, and for his salary I think it's not too much to expect someone to get worked up a bit and come up with some concrete solutions to fix the problem sooner rather then later. Health care is not a game, and it's not something that you should be taking your time with. Do I know exactly how to fix the issues? No... But I'm also not getting paid 700k to figure it out.
You can also tell a lot about someone based on how they carry themselves in public. All Duckett has done is laugh at people's upset comments regarding the system (seriously, interview with global) and try to downplay things. Not to mention his "cookie" thing... Try acting professional and answering the tough questions for concerned Albertans whom YOU serve Mr. Duckett.

I don't dispute any of that. He certainly was not voted in and had a bad moment in front of the press. The press do not get any respect from me either. I really don't know much about the guy, but health care is very difficult and our current problems are not a result of this guy.
