Manitoba's ethics commissioner cleared Premier Wab Kinew over private flights to Grey Cup games.

Manitoba's ethics commissioner cleared Premier Wab Kinew of wrongdoing after he took private flights with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to two Grey Cup games. Kinew paid the fair market value for the flights, so he did not violate the province's Conflict of Interest Act, which only applies to unpaid travel. The investigation was called for by the opposition, but it found no fault since Kinew paid for his own tickets.
