Chantal Hébert: Why Justin Trudeau can survive the inquiry and Pierre Poilievre has stayed silent
MONTREAL—A decade and a half ago, the publication of the findings of the inquiry into what was known as the federal sponsorship scandal signalled the beginning of the end of a dozen-year Liberal tenure.
For all intents and purposes, the case, it seems, is already closed in the minds of many Canadians and the popular verdict, notwithstanding Rouleau’s future conclusions, favours the ruling Liberals. Back at the time of the Gomery commission, there was not a day when testimony at the inquiry did not result in a barrage of opposition questions designed to amplify damage to the government.
But that does not mean a future Conservative government would not have an interest in some of the arguments the government has been advancing in front of the commission.
