NDP leader says Regina MP Erin Weir facing allegations of harassment
OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh launched an investigation Thursday into the conduct of Saskatchewan MP Erin Weir, without waiting for an actual victim of alleged harassment to come forward with a complaint.
The investigation was prompted by an email sent earlier this week to all New Democrat MPs by one of their caucus colleagues, Christine Moore, who had not personally experienced anything untoward.
The email alleged that Weir has “engaged in harassing behaviour towards women, specifically members of the NDP staff team,” Singh told a hastily assembled news conference.
The allegations were sufficiently serious that Singh said he felt he had to take some immediate action.
