Andrew Scheer Vows to Launch Inquiry into SNC-Lavalin Affair – Sept. 26, 2019
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer promises that an elected Conservative government would launch a judiciary inquiry into the SNC-Lavalin affair. His government would also introduce legislation that would allow the RCMP to petition the Supreme Court of Canada for access to information protected by cabinet confidence. Scheer makes the announcement in Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau's riding of Papineau in Quebec. In August, Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion concluded that Trudeau violated the Conflict of Interest Act by trying to influence former justice minister and attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to help the Quebec-based engineering firm SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution on fraud and corruption charges.
