Jobs minister Bruce Ralston has retracted statements he made about Gordon Wilson, the former advocate for B.C. In a written statement Saturday, Ralston apologized, saying a comment he made about Wilson's work performance was based on "incorrect information provided to me." At the time, Ralston said the government could not find any written reports from Wilson to justify his salary. Premier John Horgan apologized to Wilson, saying that if Ralston missed some of the documentation of Wilson's work, he was sorry to have said otherwise. "There was all kinds of documentation of work by the LNG advocate and the LNG program," he said.
