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.
