Judy Wasylycia-Leis held a press conference this afternoon demanding Mayor Sam Katz release details about a consulting contract between the City of Winnipeg and Veolia Canada.

Mayoral candidate Judy Wasylycia-Leis is accusing incumbent Mayor Sam Katz of protecting the financial interests of a multinational consulting firm at the possible expense of the environmental health of the Lake Winnipeg watershed.

Wasylycia-Leis held a Sunday afternoon news conference to demand the mayor release details about a consulting contract between the City of Winnipeg and Veolia Canada, which the creators of Winnipeg's new water, sewer and garbage-collection utility chose to help the city make $615 million worth of improvements to two of its sewage-treatment plants.
