Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s political rivals have wasted no time jumping on what appears to be a golden opportunity with a federal election just nine weeks away.
Critics from both the left and right are slamming Trudeau in the wake of a report from Canada’s ethics watchdog that says the P-M violated the Conflict of Interest Act.
Mario Dion’s report says Trudeau improperly pressured former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to halt the criminal prosecution of S-N-C-Lavalin.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer accuses Trudeau of using the power of his office to reward supporters and punish critics.
N-D-P ethics critic Charlie Angus calls the report a “political bombshell.”
