Federal Conservative leader Andrew Scheer spoke on the Roy Green Show Saturday.
Andrew Scheer says the Trudeau government’s statements about Jody Wilson-Raybould‘s testimony on SNC-Lavalin remind him of a phrase that came out of another political controversy: alternative facts.
“It reminds me of the alternative facts debate in the U.S. with Donald Trump … they just say things that aren’t true but just they say that’s their version of it. So Mr. Trudeau’s completely lost any respect and any credibility he had on this entire issue.” Wilson-Raybould said the pleas persisted despite her insistence she had made a decision not to intervene in the case.
“Canadians expect their government to look for ways to protect jobs, to grow the economy, and that’s exactly what we’ve done every step of the way,” he said Thursday. “We’ve also done it in a way that has respected our laws and respected the independence of the judiciary — of that there actually is no doubt.“There are disagreements in perspective on this, but I can reassure Canadians that we were doing our job and we were doing it in a way that respects and defends our institutions.
On the Roy Green Show on Saturday, pollster Darrell Bricker said Trudeau’s public comments on the SNC-Lavalin case have not helped.
