In the case of the ousting of Saskatchewan MP Erin Weir from the NDP caucus on Thursday, neither of those fundamental principles was respected. Both parties do agree that Weir never broke the rule that no means no. Singh said he was not ousting Weir from the NDP caucus based on the findings but rather because he questioned one of the complaints in the media. Weir is an MP from a province where opposition to a carbon tax is mainstream. One of those questions is whether Singh would have treated a more popular, more influential MP in the way he has treated Weir.
