The federal government’s refusal to provide potential records on the prime minister’s role in the SNC-Lavalin scandal limited law enforcement’s ability to fully investigate the matter, says RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme.

Commissioner Duheme appeared on Feb. 27 before the House of Commons ethics committee, which is starting its study of the RCMP’s decision not to pursue a criminal investigation into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s role in the SNC-Lavalin affair.
