Manitoba Independent MLA and defence lawyer Mark Wasyliw is suing Premier Wab Kinew and two other NDP legislature members alleging they intentionally linked him to convicted sex offender Peter Nygard to justify expelling him from the party.

Wasyliw was removed from caucus in September 2024 after the party learned he was an associate at Gindin Wiebe Segal Law, the law firm representing disgraced fashion mogul Peter Nygard.
