Premier Danielle Smith says the buck stops with her caucus when it comes to questions over why Smith didn’t know sooner about a massive breach of private information on Albertans.
Smith’s caucus has confirmed one of their staffers was at an April 16 meeting in which private information on Albertans was shown on an app.
Smith says the caucus staffer then briefed the executive director of the United Conservative caucus on the meeting but that the director did not pass any information on to Smith or her office.

The Opposition NDP says it became aware of the data breach that had occurred at the meeting and reported it the next day to the RCMP.
The breach became public news three weeks later, when Elections Alberta went to court to shut down the app, which contained the names and addresses of nearly three million Albertans.
Smith’s government has asked the Speaker of the legislature to formally reprimand the NDP for not telling her government about the breach sooner.
Always the blame game with this btch.
Who actually is running Alberta?
Wake up Albertans!
I believe you. 😉
There she goes pointing the finger at others again. When will she accept responsibility for anything.
Denial of knowledge is irrelevant. She is claiming her caucus agents did not report to her. So it’s one of two things: 1) Either she is an incompetent leader and has no clue what is going on within her own caucus or 2) She was not “officially” made aware of it so that she has plausible deniability. A true leader would have fired someone as soon as they became aware of the failure to inform her. Since she did not, it is a clear indication she was either complicit prior to disclosure or since she took no action, complicit now .
Oh look more lies from that Traitor that is Smith.
Typical UCP blaming other parties for their actions. Why doesn’t Smith ask legislators to investigate her own team instead of blaming the NDP who in fact did report their findings.
Sounds like Danielle Smith and the UCP has lots to hide.

Suuure. That’s why she has asked the Speaker of the legislature to formally reprimand the NDP for not telling her government about the breach sooner.
