The NDP wants the provincial government to release two reports into financial and government irregularities in the Northern Village of Pinehouse. The opposition party says the government has been sitting on these reports, both of which the government committed to making public. NDP Ethics and Democracy Critic David Forbes says there has been a lack of transparency and accountability by the government on this. The issue goes back to July 2016 when 34 citizens wrote the province asking for help in fixing the Local Authority Freedom of Information Act, so that issues could be made public. The NDP also revealed that former Minister of Municipal Relations, Donna Harpauer, failed to disclose all-expenses paid fishing trips for her and her partner, paid for by Pinehouse Village, while the government was considering investigating issues with Pinehouse Council.
