Opposition Leader Rachel Notley has sent a letter to the Justice Department’s senior civil servant calling for a special prosecutor to oversee RCMP investigations into alleged voting and funding irregularities in the 2017 race
Notley says Kenney and new Justice Minister Doug Schweitzer – who ran and lost to Kenney – need to be at arm’s length from investigations or prosecutions.She has also written to the ethics commissioner asking for a ruling on whether Kenney and Schweitzer, who were sworn in this week, are in a conflict of interest given their participation in the leadership race.
As part of the RCMP investigation, officers searched UCP backbencher Peter Singh’s Calgary auto repair shop last month, and Notley says he should not sit in the UCP caucus until that matter is resolved. Alberta’s elections commissioner is also reviewing the 2017 leadership contest and has levelled fines over illegal funding for Calgary businessman Jeff Callaway, who was one of the candidates.
