Alberta’s United Conservative Party has expelled MLA Peter Guthrie from its caucus after he supported an NDP motion calling for a public inquiry into allegations of political interference in medical procurements.
The UCP caucus made the announcement on April 16, two days after Guthrie voted in favour of a motion introduced by NDP health critic Sarah Hoffman. The motion called for a public inquiry into allegations made by former Alberta Health Services (AHS) CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos, who filed a lawsuit in February.
