Cockrill said the center is unregulated but that he’s referring the matter to the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The college has told CBC it regulates its members and would have no power since Goodenowe isn’t a doctor and is therefore not a member.

Conway says the action plan is failing. She says the gardens community clinic closed yesterday, and 5,000 people today woke up today without primary care. She's called around to more than 30 clinics and not one is accepting new patients. What are people like Tammy supposed to do now? #skpoli
