Apology

In the last week, the Liberals went from defending their no-apology policy on grounds of legal liability, to Industry Minister David Emerson suggesting they had new legal opinions that put the government in the clear legally, to Prime Minister Paul Martin offering a "personal" apology on a Chinese-language radio station. Now Chan, the government's point man on the head-tax file, acknowledges the Liberals will give in to clamour from the Chinese-Canadian community. "Yes," he responded when asked if the Liberals would formally apologize as part of the settlement. "We do whatever we can to apologize and make sure the taxpayers would not be exposed to unlimited financial liability." http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2006/01/08/1384894-cp.html
