An investigation of 10 Tory constituency organizations launched by the province’s chief electoral officer over illegal donations is becoming a political hot potato for Premier Alison Redford’s government.
Earlier this month, Progressive Conservative Party president Bill Smith acknowledged the existence of an investigation in a press release on the party’s website. Smith also directed 73 other constituency organizations to conduct an internal review of donations received over the past 36 months. The 10 constituency organizations under investigation were not revealed.
