Finance Minister Vic Fedeli should step down and be investigated over sexual harassment allegation, Horwath says

Premier Doug Ford must order an investigation into a 2017 sexual harassment allegation against Finance Minister Vic Fedeli and ask him to temporarily step down, says NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.Speaking to reporters on her way into question period Thursday — just hours before Fedeli was to unveil his first fall economic statement — Horwath said the accusation, detailed in a new book by former PC leader Patrick Brown, cannot go ignored.“What we expect Mr. Ford to do is what he said he would do in these instances … put an independent investigation in place and also ask Mr. Fedeli to step aside while that investigation is under way,” she said. “There are still a lot of questions that remain unanswered, and people in Ontario deserve the answers. We have a cabinet minister — really one of the top cabinet positions — who is implicated in this situation and it really begs the questions about Mr. Ford’s choices when it comes to his cabinet ministers.”In the legislature Thursday, Progressive Conservative MPPs — both male and female — wore yellow ties in a show of support of Fedeli, a signature accessory of the politician who represents Nipissing and is a former mayor of North Bay.Ford said the accusations were “thoroughly investigated by a third party. Zero evidence came out; there wasn’t a shred of evidence.”Government House Leader Todd Smith later said that reporters in the Queen’s Park press gallery were aware of an accusation against Fedeli months ago, “and refused to report on them because they knew in their hearts that these were baseless allegations.”Read more:Patrick Brown’s explosive tell-all lashes out at Progressive Conservative ‘enemies’Premier Doug Ford’s office caught in swirling scandalsFinance Minister Vic Fedeli apologizes for calling NDP deputy leader ‘idiot’Brown’s new book, Takedown: The Attempted Politica ...
