Tories say review of party’s handling of Rick Dykstra allegations still with investigator GlobePolitics
More than one year after Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer announced an investigation would be launched into his party’s handling of sexual-assault allegations against former MP Rick Dykstra, the party says it’s still being reviewed.
The story prompted a response from former prime minister Stephen Harper, who said in a statement last February that he was aware Mr. Dykstra had been accused of sexual assault, but allowed him to remain on the ballot in 2015 because he was under the impression that the case had been investigated, and closed, by police. That statement was echoed by Mr. Harper’s former chief of staff Ray Novak, who also said he understood the investigation was closed.
That was five months ago, and Ms. Nielsen has not publicly released a report and has not responded to multiple requests from The Globe and Mail.
