MLA consistently changed timeline of isolation whereabouts, public health staff says
CBC
Stephanie Gilbert, the COVID-19 Outbreak Clinical Coordinator for the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority, estimates she's handled about 600 COVID-19 contact tracing investigations in Yellowknife.
MLA Steve Norn's is among the most complicated, she said.
Gilbert testified on day three of Norn's public inquiry into his alleged breach of the Legislative Assembly's code of conduct. The inquiry is looking into whether or not Norn broke his mandatory self-isolation period and made inaccurate statements to the press about it.
What made Norn's contact tracing case so difficult, Gilbert said, was that Norn's timeline of events would change from consultation to consultation.
"What was complicated about it, was the fact that we had to revisit multiple times where we had to call and clarify parts of the investigation and land on an accurate timeline," she said.
Gilbert's department first made contact with Norn on Apr. 21, 2021, after the MLA had tested positive for COVID-19. On that call, GIlbert said Norn denied that he had contact with any other Yellowknife resident, except for one household member with whom he was isolating.
He said he remained at home as instructed and had no visitors.
