Scheer says he'd consider splitting justice minister and attorney general roles if elected PM
OTTAWA – Continuing to call for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says that if his party forms the next government, he'd be "open to looking at" splitting up the justice minister and attorney general roles.
"That's something that, you know, I'd certainly be open to looking at as we start to clean up the mess that the Liberals have created on this file," Scheer said. "For many, many years the system worked. It's only when Liberals are in power that we start to have these types of questions." "I'm saying that I at no time when I'm prime minister will I ever pick up the phone and try to get a Crown prosecutor or judicial decision overturned or changed to benefit corporate cronies," Scheer said.
The RCMP have confirmed they received Scheer’s letter asking for an investigation, but will not confirm or deny a criminal investigation is underway.
