Following the decision by Special Rapporteur David Johnston not to hold a public inquiry into allegations of foreign election interference, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre accused Johnston of helping Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “cover up the influence by Beijing in our democracy.”
“We see today that his ski buddy, cottage neighbour, family friend, and member of the Beijing-financed Trudeau Foundation came out and did exactly what I predicted: helped Trudeau cover up the influence by Beijing in our democracy,” Poilievre said during a press conference on May 23.
