Of course it can. We have more ERs than Vancouver, and we take longer.
Those 3 ERs will be equipped to do everything all day every day. Right now, if you get taken to Seven Oaks with a gunshot wound, you aren't staying there. There's no emergency surgery there. In most cases, you bypass it altogether. At the same time, as urgent care centres, Victoria and Seven Oaks can take the load of a lot of the useless crap that people go to ERs for now. This is a good idea, and it should be adopted in rural areas as well. Facilities need to be consolidated.
