TORONTO (Reuters) - The leader of the main opposition party in Canada's Ontario province denied allegations of sexual misconduct that broadcaster CTV News reported were made by two women, prompting several staff members to resign.

"These allegations are false, categorically untrue - every one of them," Progressive Conservative party leader Patrick Brown said at a news conference held a few minutes before CTV aired the report in its 10 p.m. evening newscast. "I will defend myself as hard as I can with all means at my disposal."
