Premier Christy Clark's rival in the Vancouver-Point Grey by-election is criticizing her for scheduling a campaign event at the same time as an all-candidates debate.

Clark has announced she'll host a telephone townhall next Wednesday evening for constituents.

David Eby, the riding's NDP candidate, says Clark's refusal to participate in the all-candidates debate -- also set for that night -- points to her "sense of entitlement" as premier.

Voters will go to the polls on May 11th to decide if Clark should be granted a seat in the legislature.
