A interim report commissioned in the wake of sexual harassment allegations against a former MLA says key members in the Manitoba NDP contributed to a "toxic environment" and a "culture of bullying" in the party. The commissioners described a culture during 17 years of NDP government that was "over-sexualized, sexist and misogynist," as well as an "atmosphere of fear and loyalty," their report says. The Manitoba NDP struck a commission to look into harassment in the party after allegations surfaced against former MLA Stan Struthers, who was accused of sexual harassment against several women. Women told the commissioners the sexual harassment and a lack of response to complaints about it altered their career paths and choices. (CBC News )The commissioners' report isn't the only item of business for the NDP convention.
