A former Manitoba cabinet minister has paid a fine levied against him for violating conflict of interest laws.

Speaker Tom Lindsey told the Manitoba Legislative Assembly Tuesday that Cliff Cullen has paid the $12,000 fine related to a proposed sand mine.

The deadline for Cullen to pay the fine was this Thursday.

Former premier Heather Stefanson has already paid an $18,000 fine, while another former cabinet minister, Jeff Wharton, has paid a $10,000 fine.

An ethics commissioner’s report released on May 21 said the three Progressive Conservatives attempted to push through a licence for a Sio Silica sand mine project after the PCs lost the October 2023 provincial election.
