Premier Christy Clark has apologized for her claim that NDP operatives hacked the BC Liberal Party website, after a party official said the security breach came from a computer inside the B.C. legislature.

香蕉视频直播淓arlier today I called the leader of the opposition, and I apologized to John [Horgan] for comments that I made earlier this week,香蕉视频直播 Clark told reporters at the legislature Friday. 香蕉视频直播淚t is further proof of the fact that when we jump to conclusions and we make a mistake, we should own up to it, and I have no problem saying sorry, because I made a mistake.香蕉视频直播

Horgan wasn香蕉视频直播檛 available, so Clark left a voice mail message apologizing to him.

Clark alleged earlier this week that an attempt to get into the party database and copy information about party supporters and a developing Vancouver Island election platform was an illegal act by the NDP.

NDP leader John Horgan denied the allegation and demanded an apology from Clark, saying his party has consulted a lawyer and may sue if the apology wasn香蕉视频直播檛 forthcoming.

Independent Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington issued a statement Friday morning saying a member of her staff stumbled on 香蕉视频直播渟ensitive personal information香蕉视频直播 that was posted on the BC Liberal Party website.

香蕉视频直播淣o username, password or encryption device was required to access that information, which was a spreadsheet that anyone in the public could view,香蕉视频直播 Huntingon said.

In an interview on a Kamloops radio station Thursday, Clark tried to clarify her statement.

香蕉视频直播淲e know that someone with very strong technical knowledge, someone with malicious intent, hacked the BC Liberal website,香蕉视频直播 Clark said. 香蕉视频直播淲e know that it came from the legislature. I guess people can draw their own conclusions about who in the BC legislature mint want to hack the BC Liberal website and distribute the information that they received from it.香蕉视频直播

Asked by CHNL radio host Jim Harrison if she had jumped to conclusions about the NDP being involved without direct evidence, Clark said: 香蕉视频直播淵eah, you know, I was really mad about it. I jumped to the conclusion that almost everybody else jumped to.香蕉视频直播

Horgan, stung last week by a leak to the BC Liberals of a strategy document for his carbon tax plan before he announced it, threatened legal action.

香蕉视频直播淵ou can香蕉视频直播檛 stir the pot, pour it all over yourself and then blame someone else for it,香蕉视频直播 Horgan said of Clark.

Clark said Horgan香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播渇eelings are hurt香蕉视频直播 and he should focus on public policy issues.

香蕉视频直播淚f Mr. Horgan really feels like he needs an apology, I香蕉视频直播檒l see him on Tuesday, and I香蕉视频直播檓 sure we香蕉视频直播檒l have the opportunity to raise that directly with me in the legislature.香蕉视频直播
