Federal NDP MP Erin Weir says he remains in the dark about any specific allegations of harassment against him, despite the party's deadline for complaints having come and gone. "I do not know of any specific complaint against me," Weir told The Canadian Press in an email on Thursday. "I am, of course, eager for the investigation to proceed in a timely fashion and to learn the nature of any allegations." Singh responded by suspending Weir and announcing a third-party investigation, even though Moore said she herself had not personally experienced any harassment by her caucus colleague. Weir, 35, a former economist with the United Steelworkers union, was first elected in 2015 in the riding of Regina-Lewvan.
