"B.C. minister steps aside during 'ethnic vote' probe
John Yap was minister responsible for multiculturalism

B.C. Multiculturalism Minister John Yap is leaving his cabinet post while an investigation is conducted into the Liberal Party's strategy to woo ethnic voters, Premier Christy Clark confirmed Monday following a caucus meeting.

Clark said Yap has stepped aside as minister responsible for multiculturalism and minister of advanced education, innovation and technology until a review of the leaked government strategy document is completed by her deputy minister, John Dyble.

The premier wouldn't explain why Yap was stepping aside, but said Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan would be taking over Yap's duties.

Yap told reporters that he's taking responsibility for the contents of the leaked email — but he also said he had never seen the document. "叶告诉记者.....他从未见过此文件"

"I'm the minister responsible. This is an issue that involves multiculturalism and the responsibility rests with me as the current minister responsibility for multiculturalism," said Yap."

相信不日应还华裔厅长省议员一个公道:

叶志明只是代罪羔羊,因为文件制订时,省多元文化省务厅长是布莱尔(Harry Bloy),不是叶志明. 而且叶公开向媒体声明"他从未看到过此文件".

明报报道:

"受到讨好族裔选举文件醜闻影响,省长卑诗省多元文化厅长叶志明昨日暂时辞去厅长职务,以示对一份针对少数族裔选民的竞选策略负责,他是今次政治醜闻中第二位离任的自由党政府要员。"

"省自由党昨日召锎核心小组会议,在经过长达90分鐘的闭门讨论後,简蕙芝宣布叶志明暂时去职,直到副厅长John Dyble的调查结果出炉後再作进一步决定。据了解,调查结果应该在近日内公布。

叶志明昨日续指《多元文化策略行动》文件内的部分文字及用词不能令人接受,某些建议亦不恰当,他负责多元文化事务,事件又与多元文化有关,责任自然由他承担。

简蕙芝昨日在省议会说,「我要为文件中的构想道歉,也要为文件中的语言文字道歉。」"
