Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has allegedly expelled two MPs, namely Scott Andrews and Massimo Pacetti, due to allegations of “personal misconduct” with two members of Parliament. Several sources have claimed that these complainants were made by female MPs from the New Democratic Party.
Moreover, the Liberals have asked the Commons Speaker to conduct an investigation into the controversy described as “unprecedented.” Whereas on the other hand, both accused MPs have denied the charges. The expulsions at the Parliament Hill have come at a time when serious allegations are also being laid against fired CBC host, Jian Ghomeshi. Consequently, the things should be assed in widening national discussion over sexual assault. First elected in 2008 in the Newfoundland riding of Avalon, Andrews, is married with a young son. Whereas, Pacetti was first elected in the Montreal riding of Saint-Léonard / Saint-Michel in 2002 and is also married with two children.
The charges have been mentioned in a letter authored by the Liberal party whip, Judy Foote, to Commons Speaker, Andrew Scheer, in which she revealed that multiple high-level meetings took place on Oct. 29 and 30 to discuss the allegations. It was mentioned that “to my knowledge, there is no precedent or established process for dealing with a situation such as this. The House of Commons has a process for administration of misconduct in the workplace, but there is no established process for complaints between members.” Furthermore, Foote suggested that the Speaker set up such a process.
