WINNIPEG — A Manitoba government backbencher who reportedly made inappropriate comments to female staff may be removed from the board of the province’s energy utility and could have his future decided by caucus next week. Colleen Mayer, minister for Crown services, said she and her Progressive Conservative cabinet colleagues are to meet soon to decide whether Cliff Graydon should remain as the government representative on the board of Manitoba Hydro. It is a cabinet decision and it will be discussed as soon as we are able to convene together,” Mayer said Tuesday. “We will be meeting as a caucus next week to review the facts and have a caucus discussion,” Cullen said. Mayer refused to say Tuesday whether she had personally witnessed or heard inappropriate comments from Graydon since she was elected in 2016.
