Justin Trudeau is facing calls to resign, with opposition saying he has lost the 'moral authority' to govern
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has rejected calls to resign over a scandal that has rocked his administration in which senior officials have been accused of attempting to protect from prosecution a major Montreal-based engineering company accused of bribery.
Scheer's statement came after Canada's former Minister of Justice and Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould described a coordinated effort by senior officials close to Trudeau to discourage her from prosecuting Canadian firm SNC-Lavalin over accusations of fraud and bribery. Wilson-Raybould said she had asked the prime minister at the time: “Are you politically interfering with my role as attorney general?" and warned him that she"would strongly advise against it.
Scheer said it was unacceptable that Wilson-Raybould had allegedly been relentlessly targeted by senior officials"with the sole objective of bullying her into bending the law to benefit a well-connected corporation."
