Law society to hold a hearing into former health minister Tyler Shandro’s conduct

EDMONTON – The Law Society of Alberta says it will hold a hearing to determine whether former health minister Tyler Shandro breached its code of conduct.

Shandro, a lawyer who’s now labour and immigration minister, faces several complaints.

It’s alleged that he went to the home of a member of the public and behaved inappropriately, that he used his position as minister of health to obtain personal cellphone numbers, and that he responded to an email from a member of the public by threatening to refer that person to the authorities.

Shandro’s press secretary, Joseph Dow, says in an email that anyone can make a complaint to the law society and noted an anonymous account on social media encouraged people to file one after all three issues were publicly reported.
