The party screwed up by soliciting allegations against Weir specifically, rather than leaving it open to any MP.
Still, I think sexual harrassment that is found to have "significant negative impact" on others is something that needs to be addressed, and calling it "behaviour that made you uncomfortable" is downplaying it quite a bit.
I thought that the article said that "behaviour that made you uncomfortable" was the choice of language used by the party in its e-mail. As an union side labour lawyer I would have rammed that process down any employers throat and out their corporate asshole. You don't protect women or anyone with processes like the one they used. The really sad part of it is that the NDP has many people in its ranks who could have done the process properly but that didn't happen.
