  • Summary

  • Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government is facing scrutiny after serious allegations were in a wrongful dismissal lawsuit launched by Alberta Health Services’ former CEO, Athana Mentzelopoulos. The lawsuit alleges that government officials interfered with the health system on behalf of private firms. It also claims that Mentzelopoulos was fired because of “an internal investigation,” she was launched into how Alberta Health Services’ contracts are procured.

    Carrie Tait, one of The Globe’s reporters covering Alberta, broke this story. She explains the allegations made against the government, their ties to for-profit medical companies and what Smith’s government has said publicly so far.
