An e-mail probe into whether Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office interfered with Crown prosecutors took a confusing turn Friday after two government spokespeople delivered duelling statements that raised questions over how far back the search went.
Two days later, Alberta Justice communications director Charles Mainville said in a statement that deleted e-mails are wiped from the system after 30 days, meaning the search for deleted e-mails may not have covered the entire time period in question. A 60-day search would have stretched back to late November, capturing all but the first six weeks of Smith’s United Conservative Party government. Smith was sworn in as premier on Oct. 11.
However, the Justice Department later said e-mails between “relevant” prosecutors and Smith staffers were checked. It did not say how it determined who was relevant. Smith has given six versions in recent weeks of what she has said to justice officials about COVID-19 cases.
