Tyler Shandro law society hearing to continue after minister faces hours of questioning

Tyler Shandro law society hearing to continue after minister faces hours of questioning

CBC
Friday, January 27, 2023 6:28 AM GMT

Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro answered questions for hours Thursday, during a hearing punctuated by several interruptions for in-camera hearings.

Shandro is in the midst of a conduct proceeding before the Law Society of Alberta.

It was supposed to wrap up Thursday, but additional dates will need to be scheduled to finish testimony.

Shandro faces three complaints of unprofessional conduct that date back to his dealings with doctors and a member of the public when he was health minister in 2020. 

The hearing began Tuesday, and has included testimony from three doctors and a Calgary woman who all testified to being unsettled and in some cases intimidated during interactions with the minister.

Under questioning by his own lawyer Grant Stapon that began Wednesday, Shandro testified that he doesn't believe he behaved inappropriately in any of the interactions.

He testified that the period of time when the complaints originated was fraught, as people reacted to changes he'd made to the health-care system, including a heated conflict with the Alberta Medical Association (AMA) over an agreement with the province's doctors.

He said he and his family were enduring an onslaught of threats, which he believes were stirred up through online posts by AMA members. 

Responding to Stapon, shandro suggested the complaints against him may have been politically motivated, and that he believed the AMA was behind a media story about his interaction with Dr. Mukarram Zaidi.

Both Zaidi and the minister have testified about what happened on March 21, 2020 when Tyler Shandro went to the physician's home to talk to him about a meme he'd posted that implied the minister was embroiled in a conflict of interest because of his wife's operation of a private health insurance company.

Zaidi testified that Shandro's wife was holding him, and that the minister was crying and yelling. Zaidi said he asked the minister what he could do, and that Shandro told him to delete the post. 

Shandro denies that's what happened. He testified Thursday that he was frustrated Zaidi, who he was friendly with, hadn't spoken to him directly about his concerns and had instead made the post.

Shandro said his wife was not with him and that he was not yelling or crying.

"No, definitely not crying at that time or any time," Shandro said.
