Premier Jason Kenney says there was no conflict of interest in the government’s decision to award contracts to Old Navy and IFR Workwear for reusable masks.
The companies have been contracted to provide nearly two million masks for Alberta students and teachers when they return to school in a few weeks.
Critics note that IFR Workwear is located in Education Minister Adriana LaGrange’s riding, and that the company has donated to Kenney and past Conservative parties.
The premier says the contacts were handled by an independent third party.
