Alberta NDPs are asking for the RCMP to investigate the latest allegations of queue jumping in the province's health care system.
The move come after the former boss of Alberta Health Services, Stephen Duckett, spoke at an event at the University of Toronto in May, alleging MLAs helped patients jump the queue.
For months opposition parties have been calling on the government to call a public inquiry into healthcare.
"We've asked the government repeatedly to call a public inquiry to clear the air on this and other allegations...they clearly not going to do that because they have too much to lose," said Alberta's NDP Leader Brian Mason.
Mason says a memo authored by Duckett is enough proof to bring in the Mounties. The 2009 memo, which recently became public, outlaws preferential care.
"The alternative is to wait for the government to investigate itself... it's not going to happen," said Mason.
PC leadership hopeful and former justice minister Alison Redford also made waves as the lone voice in the Conservative caucus calling for a public inquiry into the matter.
"The only way I'm going to be able to do that as premier is now... exactly what the situation is now," said Redford.
The issue has quickly become a hot button issue on the race to replace the premier. Another PC candidate who also has a legal background has criticized Redford's stance.
"She is suggesting that there's credit that should be put to hear say evidence and any good lawyer ought to know that you don't rely on hear say evidence to make your decision," said Gary Mar.
And while candidates such as Mar, Doug Horner, and Rick Orman don't support a public inquiry right now, another candidate has joined the call for a review.
"These games have to stop. I know an inquiry are usually based on evidence but I don't know how else you are going to stop these wild accusations without creating a body that can go dig up the facts," said MLA Doug Griffiths.
The RCMP confirms they have now received the complaint, which they take seriously. The RCMP says it will review the complaint to see if further steps are warranted.
Friends of Medicare has also informed the federal health minister of the allegations.
