TORONTO (CP) - Peter MacKay should apologize or step down as Canada's foreign affairs minister for sexist comments he allegedly made towards female parliamentarians, the leader of the federal NDP party said Saturday.
Jack Layton said MacKay ought to say he's sorry for a remark heard during question period Thursday, labelling Liberal MP and former girlfriend Belinda Stronach as a dog.
MacKay has denied the allegations.
"People believe they heard him say certain things and he should be a big enough man to stand up and say, 'Irrespective of what I think I might have said, obviously some people heard me say something that was deeply insulting, and I apologize,"' Layton said.
