Internal review of emails between province, crown prosecutors not enough: NDP, experts
Political scientist Duane Bratt said he doesn’t doubt there is “caucus unrest” over the issue given the number of scandals involving the premier, “almost all of them related to COVID.”
He added that the NDP has been asking for this investigation before the story broke in the media, he said. And that was just because of the correspondence Smith has had with the Attorney General over these prosecutions. Some Albertans, as well as the opposition government, have made it clear in the past few days that an internal review is not enough, said Pancholi, adding that an independent review by someone outside of government needs to be conducted.
“These are very serious allegations. We’re talking about political interference into serious charges that are related to things like weapons, conspiracy to commit murder against police officers. These are very serious charges that require a serious response from this government. An email review done internally is not going to cut it,” said Pancholi.She said that there needs to be a broader review as well because the premier’s story about this political interference has changed multiple times.
Any staffer who is contacting crown prosecutors should be fired, Bratt said, but if the premier is involved, then she’s going to be in trouble and people should ask for her resignation.
