Commissioner: Olsen and Parliament Station

commissioner: Olsen suggested perhaps it was because women have a more acute sense of smell that Wright-Gilbert noticed what he did not, according to CTV. The comment prompted Wright-Gilbert to demand an apology, which Olsen was reluctant to give, at first. That's how citizen Transit Commissioner Michael Olsen begins his written apology to his fellow commissioners, following comments he made Wednesday . Male transit commissioner says foul stench at Parliament station is a 'gender equity thing', women are more sensitive to bad smells During discussions about the source of a lingering, foul odour at the Parliament LRT station, Olsen suggested the problem was a gender equity thing because he did not smell anything Wednesday morning, whereas Commissioner Sarah Wright-Gilbert could. He sent a letter late Wednesday, admitting fault and apologizing without reseveration. I understand why. I know that my original apology to Commissioner Wright-Gilbert has been labelled as insincere.
