Saskatchewan Education Minister Under Second Conflict of Interest Investigation

Jeremy Cockrill is being investigated for investments in helium companies amid allegations of potential financial gain through his cabinet position.

The conflict of interest commissioner is investigating Jeremy Cockrill's investments in Royal Helium and Helium Evolution.
The investigation was initiated after the NDP raised concerns about Cockrill's potential use of insider information and his cabinet position for personal financial benefit.
Cockrill denies any wrongdoing, stating he did not participate in government decisions regarding the helium industry and had no insider information.
The timing of Cockrill's investments is under scrutiny, especially since he joined the cabinet shortly before Royal Helium received significant government tax credits.
This investigation follows another ongoing inquiry into Cockrill's family business, Fortress Windows and Doors, which received government contracts while he was an advisor.
