The rollout of recovery centres vital to the Alberta government’s controversial approach to lessening drug addiction and overdoses has hit a roadblock.
A legal dispute between a contractor and Sam Mraiche, the Edmonton multimillionaire at the centre of an ongoing scandal involving Alberta’s ruling United Conservative Party, has stopped work on one of three provincially funded addiction recovery centres and is threatening a work stoppage at a second.
Subcontractors, who have not been paid for months, are blaming the government of Premier Danielle Smith for first failing to provide oversight on more than $100 million of taxpayers’ money and then failing to help resolve the impasse as they struggle to survive.
“This will probably bankrupt us if I don’t get paid,” said one Edmonton subcontractor who hasn’t been paid in more than two months. “I’m about a million dollars out so that is a pretty heavy hit.”
