\u0027She is either lying now or she was lying then,\u0027 Rachael Notley said, while Smith says she has used \u0027imprecise\u0027 language when speaking on the issue
Both Smith and the justice ministry now say she had only high-level discussions with Justice Minister Tyler Shandro and his deputy attorney general.
She said the officials told her they would handle the cases in the normal independent fashion and she said she respected that. Smith’s Friday statement referred only to past talks, an assertion confirmed by the Justice Department. But in the Rebel News interview, and speaking to reporters Thursday, Smith indicated consultations are active and ongoing.
Last February, a third-party report by a retired judge concluded that then-UCP justice minister Kaycee Madu tried to interfere in the administration of justice when he called up Edmonton’s police chief to discuss his traffic ticket. In late November, Smith announced she was rolling back on a promise to introduce a bill to make it a human rights violation to impose restrictions on people based on their vaccine status.
