P.E.I. Premier Rob Lantz is set to hold a media advisory Monday morning following his removal of a cabinet minister over the weekend.

Gilles Arsenault was removed as minister of economic development, trade and artificial intelligence and minister responsible for Acadian and francophone affairs on Saturday.

Arsenault’s removal from the cabinet post follows a legal opinion detailing how a $100,000 donation from a private developer was allegedly made to a community group in the MLA’s district of Evangeline-Miscouche.

Lantz said Arsenault has also been suspended from the Progressive Conservative caucus, pending an investigation by P.E.I.’s conflict of interest commissioner.
