The Senate's ethics committee will finalize its much anticipated report on the fate of Senator Don Meredith Tuesday as fresh allegations emerge of sexual abuse and harassment inside the Pentecostal minister's office on Parliament Hill. The five-member committee, composed of former judges and some of the country's top lawyers, has been reviewing an explosive report by Senate ethics watchdog Lyse Ricard for weeks. Meredith's executive assistant Nicole Waldron said Monday the senator had no comment to make about the allegations at this time. The Senate's ethics committee will review the case against embattled Senator Don Meredith Tuesday before its report on sanctions is sent to the Red Chamber. One source hypothesized that, based on conversations they've had with senators from the various groups, a motion to expel would be backed by at least 80 of the 99 sitting senators.
