This morning NDP Leader Ryan Meili called on Premier Moe to bring clarity to last week’s confusion over the government’s handling of vendor-sponsored travel for public employees.
“Public employees responsible for awarding public contracts should not be accepting gifts from the companies vying for those contracts — period”, said Meili. “We have no clarity on whether contracts were improperly awarded because of them.”
Meili drew attention to concerns raised in April by then-interim eHealth CEO Kevin Wilson, who requested a review of existing eHealth contracts. Wilson indicated in that correspondence that the focus of this investigation should be, quote, “following the money.”
The government has not yet indicated whether such a review of contracts has been undertaken and has so far refused to make public the HR investigation that led to the firing of three employees.
Meili rose in the house today requesting:
“If we’re to ensure that public dollars are being spent in the public interest, we quite simply need answers to these questions,” said Meili.
