Smith noted her government had signed an agreement with Ottawa worth $24 billion over 10 years to uphold the principles of the Canada Health Act. "That means that you cannot charge to access insured services. If that's what [Marda Loop is] doing, they will be shut down, they will be fined, [or] we will withhold payments to them. So it won't be allowed to happen," Smith said.

Weird. This seems like a normal thing for a normal premier to say. Not what I expected from her when this story broke.

Agreed. However, will this clinic be allowed to keep its doors open after the 'investigation'? I will wait to hear the government's rationale if they end up not shutting it down.
