Alberta United Conservative Party (UCP) MLA Peter Guthrie has voted in favour of an NDP motion for a public investigation into procurement practices of Alberta Health Services (AHS), following allegations of government interference in contracting by AHS.
The move comes after allegations in a lawsuit started by former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos, who says she was fired after launching an investigation into AHS procurement practices. She was removed from the position on Jan. 8.
