REPORTS ON ALLEGED HARASSMENT FACE CRITICISM

Tensions were high in Newfoundland and Labrador’s legislature Wednesday as members moved to address reports on harassment by two ousted members of the Liberal caucus. The commissioner for legislative standards completed five reports on allegations of harassment against former cabinet ministers, Eddie Joyce and Dale Kirby. Commissioner Bruce Chaulk recommended the legislature reprimand the two men, but found their behaviour did not violate the code of conduct, and in some cases, was to be expected in politics.
