Alberta government and auditor at odds over lawyer involvement in health probe

April 11, 2025
The Alberta government and its auditor general are at odds over the province’s decision to bring its lawyers directly into the investigation surrounding multimillion-dollar health contracts.The issue arose after the Opposition NDP revealed a leaked e-mail from Alberta Health that directs public servants to contact lawyers if Auditor General Doug Wylie contacts them to ask questions about his investigation.Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi says funneling interview requests through a lawyer amounts to a gag order and runs counter to the government’s promise to be open and transparent.
