WINNIPEG Manitoba’s premier said the official opposition is trivializing the respectful workplace agreement after one of its MLAs rejected the findings of the investigation last week. During a news conference Monday afternoon, Premier Brian Pallister criticized the response of NDP Leader Wab Kinew and NDP MLA Adrien Sala to the results of an investigation into harassment of a government worker. “These comments are an attack against every MLA against the legislature itself,” Pallister said. “And against the very important principle that everyone has the right to a safe workplace free from harassment and bullying.” Pallister added, “They have sought to politicize the legislature’s independent process, in so doing, they attempt to discredit a policy that seeks to hold people accountable for their actions.”
