The prime minister is also waiving cabinet confidentiality.
February 25, 2019 "I am pleased also to confirm that later today the government will confirm that the member for Vancouver-Granville will be able to address relevant matters at the committee, while ensuring that the two active court cases are not jeopardized," he said.
Arif Virani, the parliamentary secretary to the minister of justice, said the committee can decide for itself what witnesses to call. Liberal MP Marc Miller noted that over the course of the last week, Trudeau had answered at least 40 questions on the matter in the House of Commons. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said Canadians should be"outraged" that Liberal politicians made any attempt to influence the outcome of a criminal case and the prime minister needs to explain himself.
