Documents obtained by the opposition ndp show the ucp government knew about issues from a long-term care provider. 2 months before it became public. Provider was sending patients to edmonton area motels and a cool app has more on this story for us this morning. Cynical the ucp already has a number of investigations underway. What more does the opposition wants? >> Can the ndp want more transparency from the ucp about how a company becomes either a healthcare provider or a housing provider. And we spoke with a woman who says her loved one was under the care of the company in question. Contents meant social services for nearly 2 years. >> You can't just be my brother-in-law. It has to be some out some other people must be receiving horrible care from that. >> If daniels miss dismiss ministers cannot handle the vetting of one service provider in our health system or ticket accountability for their work. They should not be responsible for significant undertaking of an entire system. Re org. >> And internal email shows a complaint was made in january and discussed by email between healthcare and social services staff. In documents obtained through a freedom of information request by the alberta ndp. The complaint is described as basic medical needs not being met by contentment. Social services to resolve the issue in a supervisor said the complaint was beyond her school and shared information for resources such as 2, 1, 1, 8, 1, 1, and voice of albertans with disabilities. The ndp says the emails are proof the province failed to respond to concerns about contentment, social services sooner. And that led to about 25 patients being sent to motels, something the ucp denies. >> It's outrageous and not factual. >> My department contacted the made sure that everything on the medical home care was appropriate. My understanding was that, yes, it was appropriate. >> Ctv emailed content and social services and did not get a response in the company's phone number is no longer in service.

We're trust sharing those numbers yesterday while updating council on the community plan to end homelessness says edmonton needs at least 1400 more supportive housing units over the next 5 years. It's drafted 10 recommendations, including increasing access to and quality of shelter services. The original 10 year plan to end homelessness was first developed in 2007 been updated in 2017. >> We have. As a community taken many opportunities to learn and develop and expand areas of work. We have always committed in the initial plans to end homelessness recognized that no one program will ever and homelessess and frankly, no one organization in the one order of government will either. >> The plan will be finalized in june. The city says a new tax on problem properties is working. According to the city. Edmonton is the first in canada to create a tax subclass specifically for direct residential properties council approved that move last year, taxes 3 times higher than the one for the average resident residential property owners can avoid the higher rate by restoring their homes before december 31st. The city says more than 15% of the roughly 00 derelict properties having cleaned up as a result of the tax. >> So considering that the sub class was officially enacted back in october of this year. That's is an extraordinary achievement. And a good sign that we as the city of edmonton are on the right track with our problem. Property initiatives turning these properties from risks into livable structures provides a significant boost to public safety and community vibrancy. >> Edmontonians concerned about problem properties can call 3-1-1, 2051 people died from drug overdoses in 2023, the highest number ever recorded in alberta. More than 1800 of those deaths were from opioids. Some of the recovery sector say the answer is not fear of death, but the promise of a safer and happier future. Advocates say drug users need to know there are teams ready to help both medically and with counselling and support. >> What's really needed right now in my opinion or medical

detox because the withdrawals are horrible from pharmaceutical side. I've experienced it, it's, it's it. And that's what's scaring a lot of people away. >> From actually going into recovery, I was really afraid. I couldn't do it.

Climbing again this month up 16.2% from this time last year, that's nearly twice the national average. Some people are demanding a cap on rent increases or even a temporary freeze. A big factor in the housing crunch right now is the influx of people moving here coming from more expensive markets like bc and ontario looking for cheaper housing. >> Expects continued pressure on housing prices and rents because there seems to be no end in sight to the population. Continue to see people come here from the rest. >> Economists do expect interest rate cuts to begin in the summertime, but the drop to the interest rate will likely be slow.

The boycott born out of people's frustration with the rising price of food forage market sells local products and produce online. It offers pickup and delivery from a sherwood park warehouse. Its business manager says sales have jumped 37% during the 1st half of may. >> I think that there used to be this myth that farmers markets and local food was almost like a luxury product. That's not true anymore.
