In 2020, an independent conflict-of-interest investigation concluded that Wiebe had violated conflict-of-interest rules, and recommended his resignation or removal.[5][6] Wiebe denied wrongdoing saying that he had a "good faith belief that [he] did not have a conflict".[7][5]

He was defeated in the 2022 Vancouver municipal election.[8]
