House Speaker Robert Wanner is unimpressed with UCP caucus staffers who secretly recorded opponents in the Edmonton Federal Building, calling their behaviour “unbecoming for those who work in the office” of an MLA.

In a memo sent to all MLAs and caucus staffers Thursday morning, Wanner said the recording, posted on social media by Jason Kenney’s office Monday night, is “not in keeping with the dignity of the institution.”

The black-and-white video, edited into slow-motion, shows an independent MLA and a senior adviser to the premier walking out of the same door some time apart.

Wanner said it’s not the first time he has received a complaint about caucus staff filming people without their consent.

Alex McCuaig from the Speaker’s office said those previous complaints included a video posted on social media in which the UCP leader leaves a committee room, and a photo of him taken on the Federal Building plaza.
