Province still waiting to receive report on health contracts corruption allegations

Oct 15, 2025 | 3:47 PM

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she expects to receive a final report today from the investigation into allegations of corruption over health contracts.

Former Manitoba judge Raymond Wyant was hired to review multimillion-dollar contracts for children’s medication and for surgeries by for-profit providers.

Smith says the report won’t be immediately released, but Albertans can expect to see it “in a few days.”

The allegations stem from a wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed earlier this year by the former head of Alberta Health Services.

The lawsuit — still working its way through the courts — also sparked investigations by the R-C-M-P and Alberta’s auditor general, which are ongoing.

The Opposition N-D-P says the United Conservative Party government needs to release Wyant’s report immediately.

It continues to call for a full public inquiry.
