Manitoba NDP MLA booted from caucus due to business partner acting as Peter Nygard’s lawyer
Manitoba’s NDP government has removed Mark Wasyliw. MLA for Fort Garry, from the party’s caucus.
In a release, NDP Caucus Chair Mike Moyes said the decision came after the party learned Wasyliw’s business partner is working as Peter Nygard’s criminal defense lawyer.
Nygard, who founded a fashion empire in Winnipeg, was sentenced earlier this month to 11 years in prison for sexually assaulting four women at his company’s headquarters in Toronto.
The 83-year-old continues to face charges in Manitoba, Quebec and the United States.
“MLA Wasyliw’s failure to demonstrate good judgement does not align with our caucus principles of mutual respect and trust,” Moyes said.
The release said Wasyliw’s removal is effective immediately.
Moyes declined to say whether Wasyliw would be sitting as an Independent.
Wasyliw is a two-term MLA, who was first elected in 2019. Before the NDP formed government in 2023, Wasyliw served as finance critic for the official opposition.
He is also a criminal defense lawyer who, according to his website, “primarily specializes in impaired driving and license suspension administrative law”.
He previously came under fire from the Opposition Progressive Conservatives for continuing to work as a lawyer while serving in the legislature.
There were possible signs of tension between Wasyliw and Premier Wab Kinew last fall. Wasyliw didn’t shake hands with the new premier after being sworn into office. Other caucus members shook Kinew’s hand, hugged, or offered a fist bump.
CTV News Winnipeg has reached out to Wasyliw for comment. The NDP Caucus said they have nothing further to add to the release.
