Parliament Hill was rocked Wednesday by accusations that two Liberal MPs are responsible for “serious personal misconduct” in how they dealt with two female New Democrat MPs.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau suspended Liberals Massimo Pacetti and Scott Andrews from the party over the allegations. He also suspended their candidacies for the next election pending an investigation.

The explosive revelation leaves the House of Commons struggling to figure out how to properly investigate the accusations.

Neither the nature of the misconduct, nor the identity of the two New Democrats who lodged the complaints, has been detailed by any of the parties. Both Pacetti and Andrews deny wrongdoing.

Andrews wrote that he wants the House of Commons Speaker and Commons Board of Internal Economy to quickly establish a process for investigating the “allegation of harassment.

“Parliament needs to be a workplace free of harassment, for both staff and MPs,” he wrote, adding he will fully co-operate with an independent investigator.
