# RCMP Probes Alberta Health Procurement

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is conducting an ongoing criminal investigation into procurement practices at Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services (AHS), examining possible fraud, breach of trust and money laundering. A court filing letter dated October 15, 2026, describes the investigation; no charges have been laid, investigation subjects have not been publicly identified, and the allegations remain untested. Reporting says Edmonton-based MHCare Medical Corp. received about $614 million in AHS business since 2020, including a $70 million medication contract. Alberta says it plans to implement all 18 recommendations from a prior procurement review by year-end 2026. No new solicitation or contract opportunity has been announced.

- Suppliers serving Alberta’s health system should review procurement records, conflict-of-interest controls, and contract delivery documentation; the investigation does not establish wrongdoing by any named supplier.
- The reported $614 million in business and $70 million medication contract show the scale of supplier exposure to heightened scrutiny and reputational risk in provincial health procurement.
- Alberta’s stated year-end target for implementing the 18 review recommendations gives contractors a specific timeframe in which procurement practices may be updated; companies should use the recommendations, when available to them, to assess their existing controls.
