Ex-NDP MP Nystrom calls Weir probe ‘flawed,’ as party starts new investigation into MP Christine Moore
“The leader [of the NDP] had a press conference in front of the main doors of the House of Commons at the height of the publicity of the #MeToo movement around North America and that made this a big national issue when it should have been handled internally,” Lorne Nystrom, a former Saskatchewan NDP MP for 32 years, told The Hill Times. He said the presumption of innocence in Mr. Weir’s case was overlooked.
Mr. Nystrom, who backed MP Guy Caron (Rimouski Neigette-Témiscouata-Les Basques, Que.) in last year’s leadership race, said the investigation was “flawed,” as such examinations are supposed to be started based on a specific complaint from someone directly affected and not unspecified allegations from a third party.

Nystrom's behind the times. Fairness and due process are outmoded.
