B.C. Premier Clark backs away from hacking allegations against Opposition NDP
VANCOUVER — It’s not the apology B.C. New Democrat Leader John Horgan has demanded, but British Columbia Premier Christy Clark admits she jumped to conclusions when she blamed the Opposition for hacking her party’s website.
Clark said Thursday that if Horgan really feels he needs an apology, he will have the opportunity to raise the issue directly with her when the legislature sits again on Tuesday.
“I was really mad about it, I did draw a quick conclusion,” she said in a telephone interview with CHNL radio station. “An investigation, I’m sure will be underway. Let’s wait for the results of the investigation. I’m sure they will uncover the individual that did it in the legislature.”
B.C. Liberal Party spokesman Emile Scheffel said their review on the alleged hack continues.
