(Credit: Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press files)Former prime minister Stephen Harper has been appointed chair of Alberta Investment Management Corp., a move that has been widely anticipated since the province fired AIMCo’s board of directors and relieved chief executive Evan Siddall of his duties less than two weeks ago. Three of those board members fired from the province’s $169-billion pension and endowment fund manager were reappointed Wednesday: Jason Montemurro, Jim Keohane and Bob Dhillon. “We’re incredibly fortunate that Mr. Harper has agreed to take on this leadership role with AIMCo,” Smith said. Horner took over as chair following the board purge, a position he relinquished Wednesday.
