But in a recent interview, Morrell said no one has called her in relation to an investigation by the provincial party.

“As far as I can tell, there was no investigation and I don’t see any reason to believe there would be an investigation at this point,” she told Postmedia.

Morrell said Khan appears to have promised a review simply out of political considerations, without following through.

In a brief conversation, Khan said he would not discuss the investigation, including whether it had taken place.

“I’m not going to comment on that issue right now,” he said.

On Thursday, fresh allegations of improper behaviour were made against another Liberal MLA turned MP, Calgary Centre MP Kent Hehr. An Alberta civil servant said Hehr would make inappropriate comments to women at the legislative assembly when he was an MLA.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has accepted Hehr’s resignation from the federal cabinet.

Responding to questions about allegations of sexual misconduct by women that forced Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown to resign early Thursday, Trudeau saluted the women who came forward.

“We take these allegations extremely seriously whenever they come up,” Trudeau said Thursday.

Hehr and Kang both moved into federal politics in 2015, becoming the first Liberal MPs elected in Calgary in four decades.

Kang left the federal Liberal caucus last August to sit as an Independent. He declared his innocence at the time, but in a recent interview would not address the allegations because of the ongoing House of Commons investigation.
