Alberta NDP checking to ensure premier doesn't get OK to interfere in justice system ableg abpoli
“Although I had no ill intent, the ethics commissioner found it was improper for me to contact the minister of justice in the way I did,” Smith said.“I’ve asked my minister of justice to develop guidelines for an appropriate way to receive his legal advice on various legal matters, and I look forward to receiving that advice.”
The issue has dogged Smith since mid-January, when she announced she was taking an active interest in COVID-19 court cases given she considers the charges politically motivated. On May 18, ethics commissioner Marguerite Trussler issued a report that concluded Smith broke ethics rules when she had a phone conversation Jan. 6 with COVID-19 protester Art Pawlowski. The call was about his upcoming trial relating to a blockade at the Canada-U. S. border crossing at Coutts, Alta.
Trussler said Shandro stood his ground but Smith nevertheless interfered in the rule of law and, in trying to help Pawlowski, broke ethics rules.Trussler said she reserved the right to sanction Smith once the house resumed sitting. Smith’s office declined to say if the premier’s apology on Tuesday fulfilled a sanction.
