VANCOUVER — A campaign for one of the candidates to lead the B.C. Liberal party says it knew about issues with more than 1,000 membership applications two weeks earlier than it previously disclosed. A statement issued by Todd Stone’s campaign Saturday says it was alerted on Jan. 12 to concerns with email addresses on nearly 1,400 membership applications and was told those applications would not be accepted. The campaign now says it acknowledged responsibility for the creation of the email addresses in question on Jan. 12, but continued to try and have the applications approved. Stone is one of six candidates running to lead the party in Saturday’s leadership contest.
