Peter Guthrie, Alberta's former Minister of Infrastructure, resigned from his cabinet position due to disagreements over government purchasing practices, specifically regarding the health contract scandal. He returned to the legislature as a backbencher, declining to comment further on the matter. The opposition NDP used his statements to criticize the government, while the government promised an independent investigation into the procurement issues.
