MONCTON, N.B. - Justin Trudeau says he's relieved that the House of Commons now has a formal process in place to deal with allegations of harassment such as those being levelled against one of his own MPs.
Calgary MP Darshan Kang says he's on medical leave thanks to allegations that he repeatedly sexually harassed a young female staffer in his office -- allegations he strenuously denies.
Trudeau has largely refused to comment while the new independent process runs its course.
It's a change from what happened in 2014, when former Liberal MPs Scott Andrews and Massimo Pacetti were accused of sexually harassing two female New Democrat MPs.
Trudeau suspended the pair from his caucus while an outside lawyer was brought in to investigate; the two resigned from caucus four months later.
Kang has not been suspended, and insists he plans to fight the charges.
