Premier's job is safe, but one of her cabinet ministers is out
Victoria/CKNW(AM980)

3/4/2013

Premier Christy Clark wrapped up a 90-minute meeting with her Liberal party caucus Monday afternoon with more support in the wake of last week's leak of plans to use government resources to entice ethnic voters.

MLA's emerged united and again expressing remorse for the insulting outreach strategy.
 
It does look like Clark is surviving what looked to be a potential challenge to her leadership from her own troops, but one of her cabinet ministers has resigned.

John Yap was responsible for the multiculturalism portfolio.

    I hope it can be discovered who authored the "memo", when it was leaked and by whom? This fiasco needs to be put to rest sooner than later.

    Stepping down from Cabinet. That's it? Where's the accountability?

    I do not understand why John Yap resigned when Harry Bloy was the minister in charge when the memo affair started? John Yap has only been minister for a few months. Granted he should have brought the info forward when he discovered it . Why is Bloy not been asked questions?
