NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has rejected a bid from ousted MP Erin Weir to return to the federal caucus — a move that has drawn sharp criticism from party stalwarts in Saskatchewan. The Regina MP was expelled from the NDP caucus in May 2018 after the conclusion of a third-party investigation into harassment and sexual harassment complaints. After working with a trainer to find ways to make amends, Weir met with Singh in June and asked to return to the caucus. That request was rebuffed by the NDP leader this week. "I will not be reinstating you to the Federal NDP caucus and will not approve your candidacy to run for the NDP in 2019."
