Liberal caucus chair supports external review
VANCOUVER/CKNW (AM980)

The chair of the BC Liberal caucus says he'd support an external review of both the government and opposition caucuses.


But the Premier won't say if she agrees.


In an interview this morning, Gordon Hogg said he'd welcome an outside review of caucus,  adding concerns have been raised about caucus reviewing itself, and clearly it was.


Hogg completed his own review of the ethnic outreach affair, but he won't be releasing it to the public, citing legal reasons.
After speaking at a prayer breakfast in Vancouver this morning, Premier Christy Clark was in no mood to comment.

Reporter: "Premier, quick question from the media?"

Clark: "How are you?"

Reporter: "Quick question for you..."

Bodyguard: "We're going to be doing some scrums at the next event?"

Reporter: "Oh, where's the next event?  Just a quick question: Gordon Hogg is calling an external review, would you support that."

Reporter: "Premier, a quick question?"

Then a van door slams shut and clark is whisked away.

    I wonder what Adrian thinks of a review?
    Oh. I forgot. We won't know anything until after the election.

      @Ron_26 You've got to seriously stop drinking the Liberal Kool-Aide.....my goodness! Even your card carrying members are turning on you! Go back into the desert and regroup.....what a culture of entitlement the Liberals have encompassed!
      Dix actually talks about small business, Christie only talks about quick cash....what an insult to every small business owner in this province! Thanks , but no thanks!! We only want LNG with no GTE!!
      Please for the love of life....care about ALL of us!

    Reminds me of the old photos of a young Christy Clark screaming "Liar! Liar!" at Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. They're all the same to me.

      @SlimP_9860 Nothing like understated sophistication right? Sort of like limp microphones, laughing at being called a pornographic name and feigning outrage at kitesurfing with Branson.

    Why review the opposition? The Liberals have bee in power for 12 years. Stop complaining about the NDP.
    All the back room deals i.e. BC Rail, problems with education, health care etc. rest firmly with the party that's been in power. Blame the Liberals.

    YOU MOVED! Is Vancouver better than West Vancouver.
    At least you can vote for the NDP whereas in West Vancouver, both ridings are married to the B.C. Liberals.

    Commonsense: Notice the reply to you from Ken280, the readers consultant, a man with a briefcase 50 miles away from home.
    Looks like he is blowing gaskets big time going into the weekend. Must be tired from his big move.
    He has now admitted to the readers that the NDP would only last ONE TERM ONCE AGAIN LIKE ANY OTHER NDP PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT IN CANADA.
    He states that a huddle can take place with the Fraser Institute and Jim Shepard of how to not get caught next time they form government.
    Excellent work! The truth comes out.

    Adrian Dix and his team have a big headache coming along in the election campaign. I am contacting all B.C. Chamber of Commerce offices in the province who do most of the all candidate meetings to ask the candidates the following question.
    WHY SHOULD TAXPAYERS VOTE FOR AN NDP GOVERNMENT WHEN NDP GOVERNMENTS ARE DESTROYING MANITOBA AND NOVA SCOTIA.

    Everything happens in three's.

    A new pope era begins in Vatican City.

    Ken280, the readers consultant, a man with a briefcase 50 miles away from has moved from West Vancouver to Vancouver.

    The third answer is still outstanding until around 8:45 pm on May 14, 2013. If the NDP wins, reading between the lines, Ken has stated in his comments to Commonsense that the NDP will once again be a one time wonder.

      @joes_2868 One more question joes....are your comments coming from a Government Computer or are you thinking your protected by being off the Clock? Either way.....you could be in BIG TROUBLE!!!

      Just saying because apparently you and your Christie Clark government friends don't understand or RESPECT the DIFFERANCE!!!

      I actually feel sorry for the Liberal Party, because SHE and her CRONIES have SCREWED any hope of inroads back into BC. SAD VERY VERY SAD :(

    bhappy: "Differance" is spelled difference. You cause your own problems, because the constant blowing off of gaskets causes you big problems on the keyboard.
    YOUR FUNNY!

    bhappy: You have to remember that the race in life is a long one. IT IS ONLY WITH YOURSELF.
    You have to remember that your chances in life are only at half mast. SO IS EVERYONE ELSES.
    You have to note that Ken280, the readers consultant, a man with a briefcase, 50 miles away from home has stated in between the lines to commonsense, that if the NDP wins government, they will be then voted out in 2017.
    In the meantime, keep blowing gaskets!
