The RCMP has been brought in after a breach of the B.C. government's computer system last month.

Labour Minister Mike de Jong is trying to downplay the significance of the hacker attack, which appears to have been 
launched from the Netherlands.

He says it was an attempt to make use of the government network, but he refused to give any more details.
