Prime minister suggests the Official Opposition is blocking progress into the potential probe while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre calls Trudeau’s comments ‘false’
, however, blamed the Conservatives Wednesday when asked why the government had not yet set up an inquiry – repeating a message he’s delivered more than once in recent weeks. He suggested the Official Opposition was blocking matters from proceeding.
“Since the Liberals finally stopped fighting a public inquiry close to a month ago, we have been engaged with all parties multiple times a week to agree on terms for a public inquiry,” Mr. Poilievre said.“Conservatives are ready to accept the latest proposal for terms of reference that was discussed, but neither Dominic LeBlanc nor his office picked up the phone or answered an e-mail in the five days following the last meeting,” Mr. Poilievre said.
Mr. LeBlanc left Canada for a 10-day business trip to Japan earlier this week. He is attending a Group of Seven meeting of urban development ministers that takes place July 7 to 9. The Globe asked his office to provide an itinerary of the minister’s other activities – besides the three-day meeting – but it did not make one available.
Mr. Scheer declined to discuss the substance of the talks, but said “if the Liberals are trying to structure this thing to not look at decisions that were made, or actions that were taken or not taken, then that would obviously not be an optimal way to set up.” As for talks, she said Mr. LeBlanc “has had productive and meaningful engagement with his parliamentary colleagues and the conversations continue.”
