Liberal MLA Kevin Lamoureux, who last year promised to resign his seat if Michael Balagus was cleared of wrongdoing, says the Elections Manitoba decision "doesn't prove anything."

"I'm not convinced," said Lamoureux. "We don't know what Elections Manitoba did in its investigation."

Lamoureux also notes Elections Manitoba chose not to lay charges against any Tories after it investigated allegations of the now-infamous vote-rigging scheme in the 1995 election. It was only after the NDP pushed for a public inquiry that "we got the truth," said Lamoureux.
