Ethics Commissioner to investigate Alberta premier over $10B tobacco lawsuit
Quote:
EDMONTON - Alberta's Ethics Commissioner, Neil Wilkinson, has confirmed he will investigate Premier Alison Redford over a possible breach of the Conflict of Interest Act in relation to her role in a multibillion-dollar lawsuit contract being awarded to her ex-husband's law firm.
After receiving a request for an investigation from Alberta Liberal Leader Raj Sherman, Wilkinson launched an investigation into the Premier after it was revealed that, as Minister of Justice, she awarded a tobacco litigation contract to a consortium of law firms which includes that of her ex-husband. The lucrative contract stems from the government's $10 billion lawsuit against tobacco manufacturers.
