Justin Trudeau says as prime minister, he should have been aware of an ``erosion of trust'' between his office and former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould over the S-N-C-Lavalin controversy.

During a morning news conference, Trudeau didn't apologize for what unfolded in the S-N-C-Lavalin case.

He stressed he continues to believe there was no inappropriate pressure applied to Wilson-Raybould to stop a criminal prosecution of the Quebec engineering and construction company.

Conservative leader Andrew Scheer says Trudeau still isn't explaining why his staff kept pressuring Wilson-Raybould, long after she had told them to stop.
