A Liberal government review of the failed internal strategy to win ethnic votes in this May's British Columbia election has Premier Christy Clark vowing to fix mistakes and the Opposition New Democrats screaming for more blood.

So far, two former Liberal insiders Kim Haakstad and Mike Lee have quit over their partisan and secretive activities in the highly-criticized Liberal multicultural strategic outreach plan and another has left the government.

Former communications director Brian Bonney, named in the report for misuse of government resources, left government earlier for a job in the private sector.

The review also cost former multiculturalism minister John Yap, who after originally declaring he was looking forward to being cleared by the review, a return trip to Clark's cabinet.

The report was released on the day the legislature adjourns before the election.
