Report into Alberta health-care contracts recommends improvements for accountability

  • The government made the report public Friday, after retired judge Raymond Wyant found Alberta Health Services did not follow policies for two major contracts, including a $70-million deal and Alberta Surgical Group clinic approval.
  • Athana Mentzelopoulos's wrongful dismissal suit prompted the investigation, alleging government interference that benefited MHCare Medical Corp. and led to her removal after probing contracts linked to Sam Mraiche.
  • Wyant interviewed a total of 26 people, including Jitendra Prasad and Blayne Iskiw, whose conflicts of interest were widely known but ignored by AHS senior officials; some refused interviews, limiting findings.
  • Wyant recommended changes to conflict and procurement rules, and the Alberta government directed Dale McFee to implement the report’s recommendations while finding no wrongdoing by Danielle Smith, Alberta Premier.
  • Uneven cooperation from interviewees means oversight and scrutiny are likely to continue, as two other major investigations by the RCMP and Alberta's Auditor-General remain outstanding.
