Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said Trudeau had lost the moral authority to govern the country and should resign.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government was rocked Wednesday by testimony from former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould.

“For a period of approximately four months, between September and December of 2018, I experienced a consistent and sustained effort by many people within the government to seek to politically interfere in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion in my role as the attorney general of Canada,” she told the committee.“I and my staff always acted appropriately and professionally,” he said. “I completely disagree with the characterization of the former attorney general about these events.
