Smith is the minister for housing, addictions and homelessness and represents the Point Douglas area.

Immediately to the north is the St. John’s constituency of Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine, where the windows of her constituency office were recently smashed.

Both ministers say they can’t provide details while police investigate but that staff were not in the buildings when the damage happened.

Police are not commenting other than to say the major crimes unit is investigating.
