After days of listening to the Opposition hammer away at the Rory Beck harassment incident in the P.E.I. legislature, the MLA at the centre of the controversy is speaking out.

Stratford-Kinlock Liberal MLA Cynthia Dunsford, who laid the complaint against Beck, has always said she was happy with the outcome, and stood in the legislature on Friday to ask Opposition Leader OliveCrane to stopposing questions about the investigation.

"By questioning this process, she is in fact saying that I'm lying. And I not only resent this, but I refute it," Dunsford said.

Deputy provincial health minister Rory Beck is on paid leave getting treatment for an alcohol addiction. His leave started just hours before the complaint against him went public. Dunsford said Beck behaved inappropriately toward her in a downtown Charlottetown bar, and a letter of reprimand was placed in Beck's file.

Crane has maintained that the investigation into the complaint was poorly conducted, and for the last four days in the legislature has been asking various ministers what they knew about the incident and when.

Dunsford was not the only person to suggest to Crane that she stop asking questions about Beck. Crane was approached by the premier's chief of staff Friday morning.

"Sometimes you have to look at people's body language to see whether they're trying to intimidate you. You have to listen to the words they use," Crane said.

"I was really surprised this morning to see the chief of staff stop me. If it's about a process that's so fair, why is the chief of staff trying to intimidate me or control what I'm going to ask?"

Premier Robert Ghiz confirmed his chief of staff talked to Crane, but denied there was any effort to intimidate.

Crane says if the Liberals had handled the Beck complaint properly in the first place, this issue would never have landed on the floor of the legislature.

Outside the legislature, Dunsford toldjournalists she has filed a written complaint against CBC-TV reporter John Jeffery. Dunsford refused to speak with Jeffery Friday morning at the legislature.

"There's a couple of complaints right now before CBC directed toward you, and I won't speak with you on the matters. So, sorry," Dunsford told Jeffery.

Dunsford told other reporters if they want more information on the complaint, they should ask CBC.

Jeffery won't comment on the matter. CBC Prince Edward Island managing editor Henk van Leeuwen said the complaint was a journalistic one but would not comment further.
