Doer government hit by two FOI and conflict of interest setbacks
Manitoba premier Gary Doer faces two setbacks as the Winnipeg Free Press exposes delays in FOI responses over travel expenses and a conflict of interest dispute involving Minister Ron Lemieux and his lawyer wife over a northern band casino license. Ombudsman Barry Tuckett calls out Flanagan and Eldridge. Lemieux resigns from the Gaming Control Commission amid scrutiny of his wife’s legal work for Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation. Highways Minister Steve Ashton assumes gaming duties.
