Officers who illegally conducted surveillence on her in 2017 abused their power as uniformed officers and have been handed inappropriately light punishments
Alberta Environment Minister Shannon Phillips speaks with the media during a news conference in Ottawa on Oct. 24, 2018.The police officers who surreptitiously photographed and conducted surveillance on a former provincial cabinet minister meeting with Albertans should be fired, according to the politician who was the target of the rogue operation in Lethbridge.
“This is an egregious and serious matter and should have been dealt with in that way,” Ms. Phillips said in an interview. “The sanction that is commensurate with the seriousness is termination.” A year later, then-chief Davis sent her lawyer a letter that said Sgt. Carrier and Constable Woronuk acted in a way that could discredit the police department, according to the report obtained by The Globe and Mail. Constable Woronuk sent information gathered from his rogue operation, as well as pictures, to a conservative operative in hopes the Ethics Commissioner would investigate Ms. Phillips, the letter revealed.
