Sio Silica probe paused after Stefanson steps down
5 minute read 6:00 AM CDTFormer premier Heather Stefanson’s sudden resignation from the Manitoba legislature last week will not spare her from an investigation over allegations she attempted to rush approval of a controversial silica sand mining project following her party’s defeat in the provincial election.
Ethics commissioner Jeffrey Schnoor confirmed he is already deep into the first formal probe held under the terms of the amended Conflict of Interest Act, which was proclaimed Oct. 3, the day after last fall’s election. Schnoor noted that as a matter of law, all complaints filed with the ethics commissioner must be fully investigated.
He confirmed that although the act requires him to suspend an investigation if the subject MLA resigns their seat, it can be resumed with a written request from either the complainant or respondent.
There had been concerns circulating in political circles that the Progressive Conservative MLA’s announcement she was resigning her seat would quash the ethics probe.
