> A provincial public inquiry into Winnipeg’s police headquarters project concluded that former mayor Sam Katz “violated the public trust” and former chief administrative officer Phil Sheegl showed “a complete lack of a moral compass.” It said they engaged in “blatant” conflicts of interest involving the owner of the company awarded the construction contract.
