Alberta's premier and provincial health minister are praising the departure of Stephen Duckett as CEO of Alberta Health Services.
Duckett's job was on the line after he refused to answer questions from reporters last week about health care; instead saying he would rather finish his cookie.
The decision to part ways with the CEO wasn't unanimous though.
Board member Gord Bonjy has already resigned and the board's chair, Ken Hughes, says he expects more resignations in the future.
And not everyone is conviced firing Duckett will fix percieved problems with the health superboard.
David Eggen with Friends of Medicare says it's the government that has brought the state of health care to what it is right now, not Stephen Duckett's cookie.
He adds the government needs to admit they are part of the problem before they can fix the system.
Health minister Gene Zwozdesky says Duckett's depature will not impact the health care system itself.
