EDMONTON—Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she won’t be using Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw for advice, and will instead seek a new team of public health advisers.

Smith made the comments in her first press conference as premier on Tuesday afternoon, just hours after being sworn-in as Alberta’s 19th premier.
