Investigation process into former Nova Scotia Tory leader fair:Interim leader
HALIFAX — The investigation by Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservative Party into an allegation of inappropriate behaviour by former leader Jamie Baillie was fair, the party’s interim leader said Tuesday.
Karla MacFarlane said she believes the use of a third-party Halifax-based lawyer was fair to both Baillie and a party staffer at the centre of the allegation.
“They both had no complaints during the investigation of the process,” MacFarlane told reporters.
Baillie, who announced plans last fall to step down after serving as Tory leader since 2010, was forced to quit immediately last week after the party’s investigation found he acted inappropriately and breached the legislature’s policy on workplace harassment.
