I was wondering about that as well. I thought it was to protect evidence they have or may be getting from the fired CEO
This thread has some likely answers to your questions.
Are they right aout it? Maybe...probably. Its what fits what the Gov has done.
This isnt the whole thread just some highlights, its linked at the bottom as well as the court decisions.
GovAB also requested an injunction barring M from sharing any evidence with anyone else, citing “confidentiality”. M’s lawyer argued that GovAB is using the courts to engage in a fishing expedition in an effort to find out what evidence has already gone to the RCMP & the Auditor General.
Justice Yungwirth ruled that GovAB can question M under oath about the nature of the AHS documents, & who she shared docs with, but M can’t be questioned about docs she may have given the RCMP and/or the Auditor General. GovAB is appealing the decision.
Then, the AG applied for intervenor status in the appeal, likely in the effort of protecting the AG’s ongoing independent investigation into M’s claims of contract procurement irregularities, as well as any evidence already in their possession or possibly still in the possession of M.
GovAB REALLY wants to know what evidence the RCMP, & AG have. They want to know so bad that they are appealing a decision that granted them the opportunity to question M, but not about cops & AG.
The GovAB appears to be doing everything they can to thwart the Auditor General’s, & the RCMP’s, investigations into claims of corruption at the highest levels of our provincial government, contained in the former AHS CEO’s lawsuit.
