All-party board orders conciliation, harassment training for Darshan Kang
OTTAWA — A one-time Liberal MP from Calgary is being ordered by his peers to go to conciliation and training after a House of Commons investigation found some allegations against Darshan Kang constituted sexual harassment.
Kang left the Liberal caucus last summer after a staffer alleged he had sexually harassed and assaulted her.
The all-party board of internal economy, which oversees a parliamentary policy on harassment, says it decided Kang must participate in conciliation with the victim to see if an agreement can be reached on remedies to the situation.
The House of Commons administration will appoint a conciliator to act as an intermediary between the two, who may not meet face-to-face during the process.
