The reasons why remain unclear, but four prominent members of the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) board of directors have resigned.

An order in council from Nov. 2 shows the GTH appointments of Marcella Szel, Mayo Schmidt, Barry Goldberg and Louis Ranger as “cancelled due to their resignations.”

Schmidt, Ranger and Szel made up half of those who have sat on the board since the GTH started in 2009. Goldberg joined the board in 2014.

“I’m personally not aware of the reasons why they were stepping away, but we thank them for their service on the board most definitely,” said current GTH Minister Jeremy Harrison.

For more than a year, questions have followed the provincial government over a series of land deals related to the GTH.

Those deals are, according to the provincial auditor, the subject of an RCMP investigation.

Earlier this year the auditor found the government overspent taxpayer money when purchasing 41 acres for $1.2 million in 2013 and 204 acres bought for $21 million in 2014.
