Former Premier Alison Redford and her Ethics Come Under Further Scrutiny

Apr 5, 2016 | 6:09 AM

EDMONTON: A former Supreme Court judge is calling for another investigation into conflict-of-interest allegations involving former Alberta premier Alison Redford.

Frank Iacobucci makes the recommendation in a report released yesterday into the 2013 investigation by ethics commissioner Neil Wilkinson.

Wilkinson looked into how a Calgary law firm with close ties to Redford was awarded a contract to represent the province in a lawsuit against tobacco companies.

Robert Hawkes, one of the partners at J-S-S Barristers, is Redford’s former husband.

Wilkinson cleared Redford of any conflict in awarding the contract for the multibillion-dollar lawsuit while she was justice minister.

But Iacobucci said the commissioner didn’t have all relevant information he needed, including a draft note that listed the law firm as the last of three that should be considered.
