Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday night he is "deeply disturbed" by allegations made against former long-time Nova Scotia MP Peter Stoffer. Former party member Lauren Dobson-Hughes told the National Post that Stoffer had twice forced kisses on her, allegations Stoffer strongly denies in the article. Despite taking her complaints to the party leadership, Dobson-Hughes says no formal action was taken against Stoffer. On Twitter, Dobson-Hughes wrote that she would not answer any more questions about Stoffer. pic.twitter.com/bNTq7FZtIi — @theJagmeetSinghStoffer served as an NDP MP for 18 years, but lost the Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook seat in the 2015 election.
