The RCMP says it is “close to concluding the investigation into the land transaction of the Global Transportation Hub.”

Sources say Saskatchewan’s prosecutions branch will turn the matter over to prosecutors in Manitoba to consider whether or not charges are warranted. Sources also say it is possible that a draft report of the investigation is already in the hands of prosecutors.

A spokesperson for Manitoba Prosecutions said in a statement that, “We do not confirm whether or not matters have been referred to us for Crown opinions.”

The investigation into the GTH deals — which saw two businessmen connected to the Saskatchewan Party profit off of land purchases made by the government at inflated prices — has been ongoing since at least April 2016.

“Members of the federal policing section were tasked with conducting the investigation, as they have expertise in the financial crimes investigations,” said the RCMP’s Staff Sgt. Rob Embree.
