Manitoba premier announces ‘no wrong door’ harassment policy for all staff
WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government is implementing a new harassment policy following allegations that a former NDP cabinet minister tickled and groped female staffers.
Progressive Conservative Premier Brian Pallister says the policy’s “no wrong door” approach gives employees more options to report complaints, including the independent clerk of the executive council and the civil service commission.
The policy will also cover employees outside the legislature — those with Crown corporations, municipalities, universities, schools and in the health system.
The premier made the announcement at a news conference Thursday alongside Rochelle Squires, the minister responsible for the status of women.
