To the Editor:
Minister Harpauer should resign over alleged conflict of interest in IPAC-CO2 funding at the University of Regina
The Green Party of Saskatchewan (GPS) is demanding Crown Investments Minister Donna Harpauer resign. The demand comes after word that her bureaucrats sat on an audit for over one year into alleged conflict of interest over money and ownership of assets related to climate change research at the University of Regina. The allegations flow from the audit done by MNP into the International Assessment Centre for the Geologic Storage of Dioxide (IPAC-CO2).
The Saskatchewan Government has invested $5-million in the project. It is alleged a private company was paid for services to IPAC-CO2 under questionable circumstances.
It is alarming that Crown Investments Minister Donna Harpauer was not briefed about the audit. Harpauer has lost the confidence of the electorate over this scandal, and she should resign from cabinet immediately.
Victor Lau, Leader of the Green Party of Saskatchewan, Regina, SK.
