Candidates are forbidden from being in or near a selection meeting. The probe was ordered by the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta after the party said Kenney broke leadership campaign rules by setting up a hospitality suite near the meeting for the Edmonton-Ellerslie constituency on Nov. 16. EDMONTON—Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Jason Kenney is being fined $5,000 by the party after an investigation into his activities at a PC delegate selection meeting last week. The association’s board decided Sunday to issue the fine and hold a new delegate selection meeting for the constituency, based on recommendations from Dunseith’s report. “I cannot be satisfied that the results of the delegate selection meeting were not tainted or influenced by these breaches,” Dunseith said in his report.
