Earlier, the leader of Canada’s main opposition party, Conservative MP Andrew Scheer, demanded that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau quit after being implicated in the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that he “definitely does not agree” with the testimony of Former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould that she faced “constant pressure” and “hidden threats” from his office, compelling her to help the Montreal engineering company SNC-Lavalin avoid a criminal trial, reports GlobalNews.
While talking to journalists in Montreal, Trudeau, who is the leader of the ruling Liberal Party of Canada, made it clear that he would not resign, despite demands from the opposition. He added that he would carefully read the allegations of the former Prosecutor General that numerous officials from his administration tried to force her to intervene to help the Montreal firm avoid criminal proceedings.
