Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is accusing the federal Conservative Party of blocking cross-party consensus on establishing a process for a potential public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada’s elections.
Mr. Trudeau told reporters in Saint-Hyacinthe, Que., on July 5 that the government and opposition parties need to reach an agreement on both the structure of a potential inquiry and its leader before Ottawa can move forward on the matter, but said the Conservatives are refusing to “participate” in the process.
