I don't think that the government is all that worried about this. And yes, it is a problem in all provinces, but it also doesn't absolve the Albertan government of inaction, or worse, action that ends up creating even more problems like below.

The Government of Alberta just announced legislation to allow anyone to purchase any diagnostic screening and testing services they wish, including MRIs, CT scans, full-body scans, and blood work, without a doctor’s order.
On the surface, the plan “increases choice.” In reality, it will drain critical staff from hospitals, widen existing massive wait-time disparities, and create two-tiered health care.
Government says this will add capacity, reduce wait times, and increase access. But the rate-limiting step isn’t buildings or machinery — it’s people.
