Premier Wab Kinew addressed the recent departure of Manitoba Hydro CEO Allan Danroth for the first time Wednesday, saying he’s not worried about turnover at the top of the province’s Crown jewel.
“I wish Mr. Danroth well,” Kinew said when asked about the resignation of the CEO hired just two years ago.
“I guess this is my first time addressing his departure, so I do want to thank him for his time with the Crown utility,” the premier said at an unrelated event. Danroth, who quit for personal reasons, replaced Jay Grewal, who was fired after the NDP formed government.

Former Manitoba Hydro CEO Allan Danroth resigned in August after two years in the position.
Kinew was asked if he has concerns about having a steady hand at the wheel of the province’s power company.
“We have a lot of confidence in our board and our chair Jamie Wilson” as they chart the course of “our most important corporation” with a goal of keeping hydro rates low, he said.
Chief operating officer Hal Turner was appointed interim president and CEO ahead of a national and international search for a replacement.
