Jul 25, 2011 | 7:38 PM

The provincial NDP is replacing the controversial ad that used spliced audio of Premier Brad Wall.

After last week's furor over a misleading radio ad that fabricated a quote by the premier, Judy Junor of the NDP admits the party is going in a different direction.

Junor says a caucus committee — made up of NDP MLA's — approved the ad. She admits some members of the public raised concern.

They were concerned that the clips, or the controversy over the clips, were distracting from the message.”

She insists the committee that approved the ad wasn't listening to the phony Brad Wall quote as much as the rest of the message.
