Trudeau Must Immediately Release SNC-Lavalin Scandal Report: Conservatives

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
MILTON, ON
– The Honourable Lisa Raitt, Deputy Leader of Canada’s Conservatives and Shadow
Minister for Justice, issued the following statement:
 
“During the height of the SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal, Justin Trudeau and
the Liberals made it clear to Canadians just how far they will go to cover up
the truth.  Justin Trudeau tried to interfere in a criminal court case and
when he got caught he shut down multiple investigations and then tried to
distract Canadians by launching a study into the possible separation of the
role of Minister of Justice and Attorney General.
 
“He even appointed former Liberal cabinet Minister Anne McLellan as an
‘independent advisor’ despite the fact that when she was appointed she was
still scheduled to make headline appearances at Liberal Party
fundraisers.  What Justin Trudeau doesn’t understand is that the problem
isn’t with the rules, the problem is when you have people who are trying to
break the rules.  Politicians who try to break rules will always find new
ways of breaking new rules.
 
“McLellan’s report was due by the end of June and even though she wasn’t
mandated to report on the culture of corruption endemic to the Liberal Party,
Justin Trudeau has still not released her recommendations.
 
“Trudeau promised accountability and transparency. He promised to do politics
differently. Clearly, he is not as advertised. Canada’s Conservatives will hold
him to account on behalf of Canadians in the weeks ahead.”
