WINNIPEG—A former Manitoba cabinet minister is apologizing after women came forward alleging he touched and tickled them and made inappropriate remarks while he was in government. Stan Struthers, who was in cabinet for more than a decade while the New Democrats were in power, says he recently learned his behaviour made former colleagues and staff feel disrespected. “I apologize for any interactions I have had that have been inappropriate and that have caused any person to feel disrespected or uncomfortable. That prompted her to lodge a complaint with her boss who took it up the chain of command. There was an election coming up and nobody was going to take any action in regards to my complaint.”
