On April 18, 2016, Wanner threw interim PC leader Ric McIver out of the Alberta legislature for repeatedly refusing to sit down after learning that sheets explaining Wanner's ruling for an NDP amendment on a motion tabled by McIver had been distributed before the amendment was even debated on the floor.
Wanner did not seek re-election in the 2019 general election.
