Danielle Smith says she's called for a review into allegations one of her staff members tried to influence Alberta's crown prosecutors.
The premier announced the review Saturday on Corus Entertainment's "Your Province, Your Premier" radio program.
"As soon as we see if the emails exist, then we'll make sure that we have a presentation to the public," Smith said on the show. "We'll know next week." News of the review hasn't quieted opposition NDP calls for a full, independent investigation done by an outside party. "There's so much there that it does need to be investigated," Bratt told CTV News. "What version of events do you believe from the premier? Do you believe the videos that you saw? Do you believe her statements on the radio? Do you believe the statements that come out of her office? Bratt -- along with many Albertans on social media -- also pointed to what could be a major flaw in the review.
