Statement from MP Kent Hehr:
The conversation our society is having is a very important one. I encourage all women who have felt uncomfortable or who have experienced harassment of any kind to continue to come forward. It is never okay.
Throughout my career I have always tried to conduct myself with respect towards others, and I understand the most important thing is how each individual feels.
I have been informed that an investigation into these allegations has begun and I welcome and respect this process.
While this is ongoing, I have resigned from Cabinet pending the outcome of the investigation. I do not want to be a distraction to all the good work ‎being done by our government.
I will be staying on as Member of Parliament for Calgary Centre to continue working hard on behalf of my constituents.
Harassment is never acceptable and everyone deserves to have their voice heard.
