Alberta Infrastructure minister Peter Guthrie ordered an investigation into a $2 million Edmonton building.

Guthrie didn’t fire anyone who was investigating, but he immediately turned the matter over to the auditor general.

Health minister Adriana LaGrange was forced to leave her post last week amid allegations of political interference in contracts for private surgery companies.
