Danielle Smith says an anonymous letter the province received three weeks ago has been forwarded to the City of Edmonton Ethics Commissioner.
“We were told that there was some ethics concern,” Smith said refering to the letter. “When we receive an ethics concern about a municipal council member, we forward that on to the ethics commissioner on the municipal level because that’s the appropriate thing to do.”
“As I understand it, it was an anonymous letter with some allegations, that could be defamatory, so I think it’s best for us to put it forward and leave it in the process,” Smith continued. “I don’t think we would make every single piece of correspondence that comes into every single office available. It wasn’t a government document. It wasn’t produced by us, that’s my understanding of how the FOIP law works.
“We now know it’s unsigned and it isn’t producible in a Freedom of Information Act Privacy request. If this is the kind of info that might justify intervention by the provincial government in a municipality, I think a lot of people are going to question what the provincial government is doing,” she said.
