NDP MLA Adrien Sala was the subject of a respectful-workplace complaint by senior civil servant Paul Beauregard; on Thursday, Speaker Myrna Driedger ruled the complaint violated Sala’s parliamentary privileges.
In 2018, following several unfortunate incidents of sexual harassment, the Manitoba legislative assembly adopted, on a unanimous all-party basis, a respectful workplace policy (RWP). The RWP governs interactions among MLAs and with political staff, legislative officials and public servants. There is a separate administrative RWP for the civil service, overseen by the Civil Service Commission.
