Today we’re asking: does the PM need to apologize? #cdnpoli

No, it’s unnecessary.

 

Chapter 2

No apology from Justin Trudeau over “erosion of trust” between Jody Wilson-Raybould and his office

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.
