Someone says they’re sorry; Harvey’s president apologizes

Harvey’s Canada president Rick McNabb said Tuesday at a North Bay, Ontario, hotel that he’s sorry for the E. coli O157:H7 outbreak that has now stricken 190 people, of which 36 are laboratory confirmed.

". . . On behalf of our company, I just want to say how sorry we are that something happened here, despite the fact that we don’t know what it is, but it’s clear we were associated with it."

McNabb said the local franchise operator, Cindy Gibb, is distraught and this is overwhelming for her.

I speak to her daily," he said. She’s hurt, sorry and scared. The best-case scenario for everyone is to find the source."
