Klapstein was appointed as an ex officio member by Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development Shirley McClellan in July of 2000. This appointment came under investigation by the ethics commissioner Robert Clark in 2003 as a breach of the "Conflict of Interest Act". After the investigation, Klapstein was found to have breached the Act but no penalties were imposed.cite web | url=http://www.ethicscommissioner.ab.ca/Investigation%20Reports/2003/Klapstein03.pdf|date=March 4, 2003. | author=Robert Clark|title=Investigation into Allegations Involving Albert Klapstein Member for Leduc|publisher=Office of the Alberta Ethics Commissioner|accessdate=2008-03-22]
