WINNIPEG — Manitoba’s former Indigenous relations minister says Premier Brian Pallister made the right decision not to seek re-election.
Eileen Clarke says in a statement on social media that she feels relieved the premier will be stepping away as leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, but she’s not considering taking the helm.
Pallister made the announcement Tuesday after he came under fire for comments he made about Canadian history more than a month ago.
He apologized last week for saying in July that people who came to Canada before and after it became a country did not come to destroy but to build.
