The CBC has further details, including this gem:
“It turned out that this was a matter that did not touch government,” Lukaszuk said. “The cabinet minister retained independent, privately legal counsel. And that was the end of the matter.”

So how long until he pulls a Redford and agrees to pay the money back? He handles other things just like her, might as well do this as well.
Edit: The Herald article now also discloses who he was with, see my first post on this issue, I thought it was odd he's with that guy then that guy's firm is handling government business... and perhaps more troubling now is, when pressed to come clean on Monday Lukaszuk effectively lied-- obviously thinking he'd get away with it. He's not competent enough to be a cabinet minister let alone an MLA.
