OTTAWA New Democrat women are challenging their party to do better on implementing its anti-harassment policy, in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct emerging across Canada’s political spectrum. Another resolution adopted Sunday compels the NDP to put a full anti-harassment policy on its website alongside its mission statement. “My friends, we are not immune as a movement from the spectrum of behaviours that constitutes harassment and violence. The new version is specific and detailed in its definitions and procedures, listing numerous examples of what could constitute discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment and bullying. Asked about her views on updating the harassment policy, Horwath said she applauds organizations that update their policies to make workplaces safer.
