Alberta auditor-general to look into Dynalife failure

Oct 6, 2023 | 5:44 PM

EDMONTON – Alberta’s auditor general says he will investigate what went wrong with the United Conservative Party government’s abandoned plan to privatize community lab testing provincewide.

Doug Wylie’s office says in a statement that he will examine procurement and contracting processes.

He plans to make a report available early next year.

Alberta’s Opposition NDP had asked Wylie to investigate the deal, saying Premier Danielle Smith’s government cannot be trusted to determine or divulge what went wrong.

In August, Health Minister Adriana LaGrange cancelled the handling of community lab testing by private provider Dynalife after months of complaints of long wait times and service bottlenecks in Calgary and the southern region.
