Alberta Premier Smith says UCP paying for possible defamation lawsuit against CBC ableg abpoli
Smith has said a review found no evidence of contact between her office and the prosecution service. The CBC has said it stands by its reporting.
Smith has refused to answer questions from reporters about the call, citing the possible lawsuit against CBC.Article content “It’s very possible that the people who run that fund within the Government of Alberta and within the Ministry of Attorney General don’t actually think that this is a particularly valid legal strategy for the premier, and it’s not a problem that she ran into by virtue of doing her appropriate job as the premier,” said Notley.
“If believed that she was truly the victim of defamation as a result of doing her job as premier, that is a fund they could have gone to,” said Notley. The NDP has called for an independent investigation to determine what happened and whether Smith, as premier, contacted other accused to discuss their cases.Article content
