B.C. first in Canada with bill on apologies that avoid legal fallout Tue Mar 28, 02:18 PM EST VICTORIA (CP) - It's going to be easier to say I'm sorry in B.C. The province has become the first in Canada to introduce legislation to allow people and organizations to make an apology without fearing legal liability. In bringing in the bill, Attorney General Wally Oppal says there are times when an apology is important, but the legal implications have been uncertain. He says the Apology Act will allow parties to say sorry without concern that it amounts to an admission of liability or end up voiding provisions of an insurance policy. The legislation is based on a private member's bill first introduced by Vancouver Liberal MLA Lorne Mayencourt. The legislation follows instances in which the government was asked to apologize for such things as abuse suffered by patients at the now-closed Woodlands institute for the mentally-impaired.
