Premier Iain Rankin says the first he heard of claims about inappropriate behaviour by someone in his office was last week, contradicting recent statements by one of his caucus colleagues.
Hants East MLA Margaret Miller told AllNovaScotia.com earlier this week that she first brought concerns about Stephen Tobin s behaviour to Rankin shortly after he won the Liberal Party leadership in February.
In an interview with CBC News on Wednesday, Rankin said that conversation did not happen.

Margaret Miller has officially given notice she will resign her seat on June 1.
She said it is partly because the premier s office has hired a caucus staffer she has accused of having treated her and other female colleagues with repeated disrespect and misogynistic behaviour.
She posted her resignation letter on her Facebook page Friday morning, just hours after Premier Iain Rankin told reporters, he had no evidence of improper behaviour by a member of his staff toward any MLAs in his caucus and that he had not read Miller s email.
