US EditionOusted Alberta MLA says premier knew about AHS problems
- Peter Guthrie, a former Alberta MLA who was removed from the United Conservative caucus in April 2025, claimed that the province’s top leadership, including the premier and the health minister, had provided misleading information regarding problems within Alberta Health Services.
- The allegations stem from a lawsuit filed in January 2025 by the ex-leader of Alberta Health Services, who alleges she was dismissed unjustly after probing corruption, political meddling, and questionable multimillion-dollar contracts within the health system.
- Guthrie released handwritten cabinet meeting notes showing concerns about the dismissal of the AHS board and contract extensions to a private surgical company amid ongoing investigations by the RCMP and auditor general.
- Guthrie expressed that he attempted to address the concerns internally but found the government unwilling to engage with them, while Smith's press secretary refuted any suggestion that cabinet members were deceived.
- These events have intensified scrutiny of the UCP government’s health reforms and contract management, with investigations ongoing and claims from all sides pending legal resolution.
