Government: Christy Clark

Christy Clark: Yesterday, the B.C. NDP released an e-mail alleging it shows former Liberal communications director Brian Bonney suggesting a financial inducement be offered to the unidentified government staffer in an attempt to keep her from going public with her concerns, according to CBC. Today, Clark admitted the offer crossed the line, but says Bonney is no longer with her government and the inducement was never actually handed out.

Premier Christy Clark says a Liberal staffer was never paid to keep quiet about the "ethnic outreach" scandal, and the issue was dealt with when deputy minister John Dyble conducted a review before the May provincial election. Former government communications director Brian Bonney stepped down in February. Twitter News has learned the staffer is a North Vancouver woman named Sepideh Sarrafpour, who was hired on contract with the B.C. government caucus to do multicultural outreach work. She left government in September 2012. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
