Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called for the federal government to release all documents related to the firing of two scientists at Canada’s top infectious disease laboratory, after a committee researching the issue said the Public Health Agency of Canada withheld information to shield itself from embarrassment.

“Trudeau must release the documents related to what happened in Winnipeg. No more hiding. No more excuses. End the coverup,” Mr. Poilievre said on X on Feb. 22.
