MP Scott Andrews ejected from Liberal caucus after independent review

Avalon MP Scott Andrews has received a copy of the executive summary of the investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and will review it with his lawyers.

In a statement released earlier Wednesday, Andrews said he was "astounded" by media reports that he would be ejected from the federal Liberal caucus.

It said Andrews hadnot spoken to party leader Justin Trudeau about the report by Cynthia Petersen, who was hired to look into allegations of sexual misconduct by Andrews and Montreal MP MassimoPacetti, before reports surfaced that he would be booted from caucus.
