While issues of sexual harassment dominate the news, the case of Calgary Skyview MP Darshan Kang — who left the Liberal caucus at the end of last August amidst allegations of misconduct — remains shrouded in secrecy.

The allegations against Kang brought by two female former staffers were referred to the House of Commons’ chief human resource officer, but the Speaker’s office says the investigation process is “completely confidential” and there will be no comment on the status of the case.

In a brief recent telephone interview, Kang said he can say nothing about the investigation.

Though he declared his innocence when he left the Liberal caucus, Kang would not address the allegations or whether he had spoken to investigators.

“Because it’s under investigation, I don’t want to discuss anything because it’s confidential and private,” he said. “I cannot say more than that.”

The Speaker’s office noted that the House of Commons reports annually on preventing and addressing harassment, with the next report expected in June.
