Manitoba NDP caucus expels MLA Mark Wasyliw over ties to Nygard's defense lawyer.

Manitoba's NDP government has expelled MLA Mark Wasyliw from its caucus due to his business ties with the defense lawyer of convicted sex offender Peter Nygard. Caucus Chair Mike Moyes criticized Wasyliw for poor judgment and a lack of alignment with party principles. Although Wasyliw, elected in 2019, remains the MLA for Fort Garry, he has faced prior criticism for practicing law while in office. Nygard was sentenced to 11 years for sexual assault.
