## Resource

Residents of Lloydminster, straddling Alberta and Saskatchewan, are demanding transparency after the Saskatchewan government released a vague, sanitized summary of a health care needs report — one that locals say ignores years of deteriorating services. Critics, including longtime doctor Dr. Raffath Sayeed and health advisory council head Paul Richer, argue the full report, funded by taxpayers, is essential to fix systemic gaps and that the government’s secrecy undermines public trust. While Saskatoon officials cite confidentiality concerns and Alberta remains silent, advocates insist transparency is non-negotiable in a publicly funded system. Despite some signs of progress — like a new dialysis unit — frustration remains high, as residents fear they’ve been shortchanged for over a decade.
