Alberta’s government has considered hiring former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to oversee its public pension fund manager, which is without a permanent board after all of its directors were fired last week, according to people familiar with the matter.
Harper’s name has been circulating as a potential chair for Alberta Investment Management Corp. for a number of months, the people said, asking not to be named discussing private matters.
