Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rebuffed new Opposition questions regarding the SNC-Lavalin affair as “digging into the past,” though RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme recently admitted the Privy Council Office (PCO) denied access to information which limited the RCMP’s investigation into the issue.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Mr. Trudeau traded fire over the topic during Question Period on Feb. 28, with Mr. Poilievre connecting Commissioner Duheme’s recent remarks to the potential of future disclosure of documents relevant to ongoing ArriveCan investigations.
