On the same day the federal government released a report on harassment in Canadian workplaces, a Conservative MP says she experienced intimidation on Parliament Hill and that she complained to senior officials. Karen Vecchio told CBC News she faced harassment from an MP after she witnessed a sexist remark directed at her colleague, Dianne Watts, earlier this year. Vecchio went to then-Conservative whip Gord Brown who informed his Liberal counterpart, Pablo Rodriguez, who initiated mediation. The London, Ont.-area MP would not say who she accused of harassment as she wanted to respect the confidentiality of the process. The incident stems from an event earlier this year when Liberal MP Nicola Di Iorio and Watts were attending an in-camera committee meeting.
