OTTAWA—The Saskatchewan MP expelled from the NDP caucus Thursday after a three-month harassment investigation says his behaviour was “far from what most Canadians would think of as harassment,” and hopes leader Jagmeet Singh welcomes him back to the party fold. Singh revealed the conclusion of a third-party investigation of Regina—Lewvan MP Erin Weir Thursday morning, when he announced his decision to kick him out of the NDP caucus. The probe concluded that one claim of harassment and three claims of sexual harassment against Weir were “sustained,” Singh said. ( Adrian Wyld / The Canadian Press )Weir responded by calling the investigation “deeply flawed” and that he should be reinstated as an NDP caucus member. “I trust the third-party investigator to have done her work,” said NDP caucus chair Matthew Dubé.
