Saskatchewan’s Conflict of Interest Commissioner (COIC) is investigating two government MLAs.
Premier Scott Moe faced questions Wednesday after it was reported that Minister of Education Jeremy Cockrill as well as MLA Gary Grewal were under investigation.
"At the end of the day there’s a process that the conflict of interest commissioner will follow – there’s a process that MLAs need to follow as well. If he has recommendations that will come out of that I’m certain the MLAs will follow it," he said when asked about the pair.
"In the meantime I won’t speak for the MLAs but I suspect that they’ll be cooperating fully with any questions he has along the way."
In a message to CTV News, Government Caucus Chief of Staff Angela Currie confirmed the MLAs were cooperating with the investigation.
“MLAs meet with the Conflict-of-Interest Commissioner annually to review their assets and ensure the legislation is being followed before publicly releasing their statements on the legislative assembly website,” she added.
Both MLAs have faced scrutiny from the Official Opposition concerning their business dealings while serving as elected officials.
