Darshan Kang says he will stay on as an MP despite a House of Commons investigation finding he violated Parliament’s harassment policy.

On Friday, an investigator found the Calgary Skyview MP acted improperly by trying to enter the hotel room of a young female staffer who worked in his constituency office in June of 2017.

The probe concluded allegations against Kang were “partially substantiated,” including that Kang had tugged at her jacket, grabbed and caressed her hands, and persistently tried to enter her hotel room in Ottawa despite her refusals, according to documents obtained by Postmedia.

Kang said the investigation “is not distracting” him from his work as an MP and he is not stepping down.

“All I’m going to say right now is it’s a confidential process, it’s continuing and I respect that process,” Kang told Postmedia on Saturday.

“I have been serving (my constituents) to the best of my ability and I will keep on serving them to the best of my ability.”
