A Liberal MP has called out a Conservative MP for making “humiliating and unwanted” sexual remarks that caused her great stress in the workplace.
Sherry Romanado made the accusations in the House of Commons on a point of order, just hours after Conservative MP James Bezan apologized for making an “inappropriate and insensitive” comment in her presence.
Romanado, a Quebec MP and parliamentary secretary to the minister of veterans affairs and associate minister of national defence, said the comments were made in May.
“These comments have caused me great stress and negatively affected my work environment,” she said.
Shortly after 11 a.m., Bezan said sorry in the House of Commons.
“I have nothing but the greatest respect for this member, for this institution, and I sincerely apologize,” he said.
