Zero-tolerance on sexual misconduct: Alberta Opposition leader Jason Kenney
EDMONTON — The leader of the United Conservatives in Alberta says the party will rigorously vet prospective candidates for conduct related to sexual harassment or aggression.
Jason Kenney, a former federal Conservative MP, was sworn in on Monday as a member of the legislative assembly after winning a Calgary byelection in December.
The United Conservative Party caucus has been meeting in Edmonton and discussed several issues, including recent allegations of sexual harassment against politicians.
“I spoke to our caucus about this yesterday, given the current context, and re-emphasized that our party and caucus has a zero-tolerance approach toward sexual misconduct,” Kenney said Tuesday during a news conference.
