In the House today, Minister Ellis claimed this was just “human error,” blaming of one of his senior staff.
Human error. Twice. Weeks apart.
The fact is the UCP have a record of intentionally bending & breaking access to info laws.

We caught the UCP red-handed.
We asked Public Safety & Emergency Services for any correspondence between Min. Ellis & the Edmonton Police Commission.
They told us - twice - there was none.
We asked the Commission & got 130 pages including 5 letters signed by Ellis. #abpoli
