CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — In response to questions posed in the P.E.I. legislature on March 20, Finance Minister Jill Burridge said 44 workplace harassment complaints have been filed within the province’s civil service since 2019.
Speaking in the legislature before question period on March 20, Premier Dennis King confirmed these two complaints had been made. "Has the premier found out yet why he was left in the dark on these extremely troubling issues?" Perry said. He asked for details of harassment complaints from several ministers, including Burridge and Seniors Minister Barb Ramsay.
These figures alone do not provide clarity on whether or not P.E.I.'s civil service has seen more harassment or workplace bullying complaints than other provinces.
