Madu back in cabinet after investigation into phone call to police chief. Kaycee Madu is back in Jason Kenney’s cabinet, but not as justice minister after a third-party report was completed into his phone call to Edmonton’s police chief following a traffic ticket.

Madu was forced to step aside from his justice department duties while retired judge Adèle Kent investigated the incident. Kent’s report, released Friday, concludes that while Madu did not interfere in the administration of justice when he called Edmonton police Chief Dale McFee after receiving a traffic ticket, his “call created a reasonable perception of an interference with the administration of justice.”

The government announced Friday former health minister Tyler Shandro is now the province’s justice minister after serving for about five months as labour and immigration minister. The shuffle comes as the Law Society of Alberta prepares to hold a hearing into Shandro’s conduct as health minister following three complaints that Shandro’s behaviour broke the society’s code of conduct. Kent’s report said that Madu was pulled over after an Edmonton police constable observed Madu looking down at a cellphone screen, but when he spoke with Madu, Madu was not holding a cellphone and denied using it.

Madu paid the ticket within two days but has also said that when he spoke to McFee, he raised concerns about racial profiling and said he wanted to ensure he wasn’t being “unlawfully surveilled” following a controversy surrounding the Lethbridge Police Service. In a Friday statement, Kenney said he looks forward to Madu’s work in cabinet as the labour and immigration minister. “He will lead important reforms to the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program and continued implementation of the Fairness for Newcomers Action Plan to help break down barriers to the economic success of immigrants. He will help to deliver on the Alberta Work Initiative, a key part of Budget 2022’s plan to connect unemployed Albertans with available jobs through expanded training programs,” Kenney said.

Big congrats. Keep shining.

System that works unlike your country of origin that would have set up panels and committees to "investigate" and "look into it".
