Alberta's Auditor General Granted Extra $1M for Health Procurement Probe
- On June 24, 2025, Alberta's auditor general Doug Wylie received an additional allocation close to $1 million to broaden his investigation into corruption allegations involving private health care contracts.
- The inquiry was launched earlier this year following claims from a previous leader of Alberta Health Services, which prompted a closer examination of overpriced contracts and potential government involvement.
- Legislative committee representatives from both the governing United Conservative Party and the Opposition NDP endorsed the funding and acknowledged the significance of Wylie's work.
- Wylie said the probe's scope and complexity requires hiring additional help and covering legal expenses to fully address the allegations.
- Athana Mentzelopoulos has filed a lawsuit against the government, alleging she was wrongfully terminated due to political interference linked to her investigation of overpriced contracts; however, the province denies these claims and maintains that her dismissal was based on poor performance.
