When asked aboutJeworski and his comments during a media scrum Friday in Saskatoon, NDP leader Cam Broten said, "This candidatestepped down. He's off the team. He did so for personal reasons."

Regarding the comment about Wall's mother, Broten said, "Acomment like that is not appropriate."

Broten also added,"Idon't think anyone wants this campaign to spiral down into a thing where it's trolling of Facebook and Twitter accountsand finding every example ofa bad joke about an off-colour statement."

"But in the case of [Clayton Wilson], I have a zero tolerance for violence against women," he said.

When asked how his party vets candidates, Broten said "the campaigns do the campaigns in terms of the work required in the lead-up."
