Former B.C. premier Christy Clark says she is stepping back from the federal Liberal leadership race.
In a statement on her website Tuesday (Jan. 14), Clark said she was able to put together an amazing team on short notice, but "there is simply not enough time to mount a successful campaign and for me to effectively connect with Francophone Canadians in their language."
She added she has worked hard on her French, but it's not where it needs to be today.
More to come.
