Local Liberal MP Francis Drouin says an allegation has been made against him following an incident at the party's convention in Halifax this weekend.
Drouin, the 34-year-old MP for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, was described earlier this year as a rising star in the Liberal Party with a firm grip on the agriculture file and standing as the most-lobbied backbench MP on Parliament Hill.
In a statement emailed to Liberal MPs and staff Sunday, Drouin says he can confirm an allegation has been made but doesn't say what it is about.
He says he is co-operating fully with the investigation, that no charges have been laid against him and he believes it is important for all individuals to feel safe coming forward with their stories and to receive support.
The news comes a day after the Liberal Party held an hour-long seminar at the convention named "From .MeToo to never again: creating safe work environments."
A spokesman for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office says all questions should be directed to the party's whip, Pablo Rodriguez, who hasn't yet responded to a request for comment.
