Trudeau to decide if he'll pursue misconduct investigation into MP

The Canadian Press, 04 Dec, 2014 02:20 PM

    ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says he'll have more to say soon on whether he'll pursue an independent investigation into the allegations of personal misconduct facing Liberal MP Scott Andrews.

    Trudeau is in St. John's, N.L., for the first time since suspending Andrews and Quebec MP Massimo Pacetti from the Liberal caucus.

    Many political observers have questioned the limbo the MPs have been in due to a lack of a process to deal with harassment claims between MPs.

    Andrews, a former ethics critic, has denied through a lawyer any wrongdoing since Trudeau suspended him from the Liberal caucus Nov. 5, along with Quebec MP Massimo Pacetti.

    Andrews has refused further comment, but sources familiar with the complaint have told The Canadian Press in Ottawa that an unnamed NDP MP alleges he victimized her within the past six months.
