Alberta Infrastructure Minister Peter Guthrie has resigned citing concerns about the government’s handling of allegations related to procurement processes across several departments, including Alberta Health Services (AHS).

Guthrie’s resignation comes in the wake of a lawsuit filed by former AHS president Athana Mentzelopoulos, who claims wrongful termination regarding her dismissal. Mentzelopoulos was fired on Jan. 8.
