Greg Nesbitt is a member of the Opposition Progressive Conservatives who represents the Riding Mountain constituency.

The governing NDP caucus filed a complaint in August about his involvement in a company tied to a hotel and conference centre in the Town of Russell that has a contract with the provincial government.

Ethics commissioner Jeffrey Schnoor has ruled Nisbitt has an indirect interest in the company through another company, but has no voting shares or control over its operations.

Nsbitt said he was unaware of the contract and said he sold his shares in the hotel company in 2018 under an 11-year buyout that is not yet complete.
