The Alberta government has filed its statement of defence in response to allegations of government interference in medical procurements made by the former president of the province’s health agency.

The 23-page document, filed on March 13 in Edmonton Court of King’s Bench, responds to a lawsuit filed last month by former Alberta Health Services (AHS) CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos, who claims wrongful termination following her removal from the role in January.
