Alberta Minister Peter Guthrie Resigns Over Procurement Practices
Alberta's Minister of Infrastructure, Peter Guthrie, has resigned, citing concerns over the government's procurement practices, particularly in relation to allegations surrounding Alberta Health Services (AHS). His resignation follows a wrongful dismissal lawsuit by former AHS president Athana Mentzelopoulos, who claims she was fired for investigating questionable contracts and government interference. Guthrie expressed disappointment that his proposed measures, including a Financial Oversight Committee to improve procurement transparency, were not supported by the majority of the Cabinet. Premier Danielle Smith and Health Minister Adriana LaGrange have denied any wrongdoing and emphasized ongoing investigations into the allegations. The opposition NDP is calling for a public inquiry into the matter, which the government has resisted. Guthrie plans to remain in the legislature as a private member to continue advocating for accountability within the government.
