The Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba has decided to let Swan River MLA Rick Wowchuk remain in caucus, despite an internal investigation finding several breaches of the legislative assembly's respectful workplace policy.
The breaches include showing his assistant a picture of naked women, and calling her while in the bathtub and making comments about her wearing a bikini. Wowchuk has since completed sensitivity training, which along with an apology, was required of him to run in last week's provincial election under the PC banner.
The election saw Wowchuk get re-elected in the Swan River constituency with 5,529 votes, which is more than double the amount of votes Shelley Wiggins received for the Manitoba NDP (2,064).
No details about the decision were released after Manitoba's PC caucus met yesterday, other than Lac du Bonnet MLA Wayne Ewasko saying "what happens in caucus, stays in caucus".
