Don Meredith harassment inquiry continues despite his resignation
OTTAWA — The Senate ethics watchdog has resumed an investigation into workplace harassment and bullying allegations against Don Meredith.
The fact that Meredith is no longer a senator would usually put an end to such an inquiry, but the Senate ethics committee decided it wants to press ahead with the probe that began nearly two years ago.
The office of Senate ethics officer Lyse Ricard, who is leaving her position June 30 for family reasons, sent an email Thursday confirming that work picked up again on Wednesday
“The committee believes that allegations of sexual harassment, harassment and abuse of authority in the workplace should be fully investigated for the fairness of the employees involved and former senator Meredith,” the committee wrote in a report tabled late Wednesday.
