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.

91裸聊视频淓arlier today I called the leader of the opposition, and I apologized to John [Horgan] for comments that I made earlier this week,91裸聊视频 Clark told reporters at the legislature Friday. 91裸聊视频淚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.91裸聊视频

Horgan wasn91裸聊视频檛 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 wasn91裸聊视频檛 forthcoming.

Independent Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington issued a statement Friday morning saying a member of her staff stumbled on 91裸聊视频渟ensitive personal information91裸聊视频 that was posted on the BC Liberal Party website.

91裸聊视频淣o username, password or encryption device was required to access that information, which was a spreadsheet that anyone in the public could view,91裸聊视频 Huntingon said.

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

91裸聊视频淲e know that someone with very strong technical knowledge, someone with malicious intent, hacked the BC Liberal website,91裸聊视频 Clark said. 91裸聊视频淲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.91裸聊视频

Asked by CHNL radio host Jim Harrison if she had jumped to conclusions about the NDP being involved without direct evidence, Clark said: 91裸聊视频淵eah, you know, I was really mad about it. I jumped to the conclusion that almost everybody else jumped to.91裸聊视频

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.

91裸聊视频淵ou can91裸聊视频檛 stir the pot, pour it all over yourself and then blame someone else for it,91裸聊视频 Horgan said of Clark.

Clark said Horgan91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频渇eelings are hurt91裸聊视频 and he should focus on public policy issues.

91裸聊视频淚f Mr. Horgan really feels like he needs an apology, I91裸聊视频檒l see him on Tuesday, and I91裸聊视频檓 sure we91裸聊视频檒l have the opportunity to raise that directly with me in the legislature.91裸聊视频
