Public Controversies
In 2017, Sherry Romanado publicly accused then-Conservative MP James Bezan of making inappropriate comments to her at a public event. Bezan issued a public apology for what he described as "inappropriate and insensitive" remarks. An independent investigation by the House of Commons' chief human resources officer later concluded that the comments were not of a sexual nature. The investigator found that Bezan's apology was a sufficient resolution to the complaint.
