The ethics commissioner has denied a request for investigation into an energy regulator board member and adviser to Premier Danielle Smith for possible conflicts of interest.
The investigation was sought on the basis of concerns about whether David Yager breached sections of the Conflict of Interest Act that places obligations on senior officials and members of the premier’s staff.
The request also requested consideration of whether sole-source contracts awarded to Yager violated the province’s procurement and sole-sourcing policy.Yager is listed on Government of Alberta webpages as a “special adviser to the Premier of Alberta.”
He sits on the board of the Alberta Energy Regulator, the province’s arm’s-length energy regulator.He has also been the recipient of four sole-source government contracts, amounting to a total of more than $400,000 in compensation, between 2023 and 2025.
