Andrew Scheer Calls on Liberal MPs to Allow SNC-Lavalin Probe
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer holds a news conference in Moncton, New Brunswick, to discuss the upcoming emergency meeting of the House of Commons ethics committee. Scheer also announces he is launching a grassroots campaign to encourage Canadians to contact the Liberal members on the committee to allow an investigation into the SNC-Lavalin controversy. Committee members will meet on August 21 to discuss an opposition motion calling on ethics commissioner Mario Dion to testify about his recent report on SNC-Lavalin. Dion found that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau violated the Conflict of Interest Act by trying to influence former justice minister and attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould’s decision in the criminal prosecution of the Quebec construction and engineering firm.
