Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger: Christine Melnick

Christine Melnick: Christine Melnick failed to fully apologize for initially saying she did not order bureaucrats to invite immigration service workers to watch a debate, Selinger said. Instead, he said, she chose to blame others, according to CTV. "My expectation as leader of the government and this party is that when you make a mistake, you take responsibility for it and make it right. Ms. Melnick has been given many opportunities to do that, but has not so far done so." - Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger booted one of his members from the NDP caucus Tuesday after she openly challenged the premier and accused his office of making her a scapegoat in an immigration debate controversy. "In doing so, she has lost the confidence of myself and of caucus," the premier said at a news conference. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
