NDP MLA resigns from caucus after RCMP searches home

EDMONTON – A member of the Alberta Opposition has left caucus after reporting he is involved in a criminal investigation.

NDP Leader Rachel Notley says Edmonton-South MLA Thomas Dang has stepped down as per caucus policy.

Notley says she believes the investigation is related to anecdotal reports that surfaced in September about Albertans being able to get access to the private health information of others through glitches on the province’s COVID-19 website.

She says Dang visited the government’s website at the time and called Alberta Health about his concerns.
