Opposition leader Obby Khan strips a Tory caucus member of his critic duties.

Jeff Wharton is to remain in caucus but will no longer serve as critic for business, mining, trade and job creation.

Wharton was one of three Tories found this week to have violated the province’s conflict of interest law.

The three politicians pushed for an environmental licence to be granted to the Sio Silica mining project after the Tories lost the 2023 election.
