Alberta’s Justice Minister Kaycee Madu faces pressure to step down after calling EPS’s Dale McFee to discuss $300 fine for distracted driving

Alberta’s Justice Minister called Edmonton’s police chief after receiving a distracted driving ticket, the force confirmed on Monday.

Mr. Madu was fined $300 for using his cellphone in a school zone, according to the CBC’s report. The broadcaster said Mr. Madu paid the fine before the end of the week it was issued. Alberta’s New Democratic Party immediately called for Mr. Madu, who represents an Edmonton riding, to step down. “There is a long-standing parliamentary precedent that prohibits this kind of behaviour. It is inappropriate for any cabinet minister to interfere in the administration of justice, even more so when it’s directly related to their own personal self-interest,” Mr. Sabir said.
