On 16 April 2010, the Saskatoon office of the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation received a package containing audio recordings, allegedly of LeClerc, talking about
marijuana and cocaine use, as well as sex with a gay man. The transcripts alleged many of the comments were made in the spring of 2009 when the legislature was in session. LeClerc removed himself from the
Saskatchewan Party caucus on 16 April 2010, until he could "clear his name". On 20 April 2010, he announced he would not run in the
2011 provincial election. The Regina City Police began an investigation on 21 April 2010 but on 19 May 2010, they announced that no charges would be laid. Members of the Legislative Assembly voted to turn the matter over to the conflict of interest commissioner. LeClerc resigned his seat on 1 September 2010. On 23 November 2010, Saskatchewan's conflict of interest commissioner, Ronald Barclay, issued a report concluding LeClerc had, in fact, engaged in unethical and unlawful conduct while in office. Barclay rejected LeClerc's claim that the audio tapes had been forged, based on forensic analysis done by the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police. LeClerc had destroyed the hard drive from his government issue laptop computer, making any forensic analysis of its contents impossible. A separate report from Barclay averred that LeClerc's constituency assistants did work for his public speaking business during their constituency office hours and using government office equipment. However that did not constitute a conflict of interest. He continued his anti-drug activism. ==Illness and death==
