The Hon. Andrew Scheer, Leader of Canada’s Conservatives and the Official Opposition, issues statement for Rosh Hashanah
September 29, 2019
SEPTEMBER 29, 2019
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OTTAWA, ON – The Hon. Andrew Scheer, Leader of Canada’s Conservatives and the Official Opposition, issued the following statement:
“This evening, at sundown, the Jewish communities in Canada and around the world prepare to mark Rosh Hashanah – the New Year- and the beginning of the High Holy Days.
“Rosh Hashanah is celebrated on the first two days of the month of Tishrei, and marks the beginning of the ten days of repentance during which Jews around the world will reflect on their actions over the past year and seek forgiveness.
“As friends and families share meals with sweet challah and apple slices dipped in honey, they will reflect on renewal, and hope for an abundant year ahead.
“Canada has been blessed by the strong presence of the Canadian Jewish community who enrich our country’s culture and values of pluralism and freedom. As the Jewish community remains a targeted group for hate-related offences, this Rosh Hashanah, let us recommit ourselves to combating all forms of antisemitism and work together to educate and to better our country.
“On behalf of the Canada’s Conservatives, I extend my best wishes to the Jewish community, across Canada and around the world, celebrating Rosh Hashanah and hope for a peaceful and prosperous year ahead.
“L’Shanah Tovah Tikatevu V’Tichatemu.”
Andrew Scheer to give hunters and anglers a seat at the table
September 29, 2019
A new Conservative government will bring back the Hunting and Angling Advisory
Michelle Rempel, Conservative candidate for Calgary Nose Hill, spoke today in Calgary about the Conservatives’ plan to give hunters and anglers a voice in protecting Canada’s natural habitats by re-establishing the Hunting and Angling Advisory Panel.
“The Trudeau Liberals cut the Hunting and Angling Advisory Panel and chose to lose touch with what is happening in our local communities,” said Rempel. “Canada’s hunters and anglers make significant contributions to the preservation of species and habitats and can offer valuable advice on the stewardship of Canada’s wildlife.”
“Justin Trudeau and his Liberal team have ignored much of the important work that is being done in local communities to protect, conserve, and manage our environment due to their “Ottawa knows best” approach,” said Rempel.
In A Real Plan to Protect our Environment, restoring the Hunting and Angling Advisory Panel is just one of many initiatives focused on increasing community involvement and positioning the government alongside Canadians to work together to promote a cleaner and greener natural environment. There are so many Canadians who work diligently to fight climate change and protect our environment. Canada’s Conservatives want to make sure that your voice is heard, that you have a seat at the table, and that the government is working with you.
Andrew Scheer, Leader of Canada’s Conservatives: “Justin Trudeau is not as advertised. This election, Canadians have a choice. Between the poor judgement of Justin Trudeau, and a new, positive Conservative government that will take immediate action for you to get ahead.”
Justin Trudeau broke his promises to you last time, and he will do it again if re-elected
September 29, 2019
Today, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are unveiling their election platform – much like the 2015 version it’s not worth the wasted ink and the paper it’s printed on.
In the last election, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals promised a lot, but once elected they broke promise after promise and made life more expensive and unaffordable for families. Plain and simple, Justin Trudeau is not as advertised. If Justin Trudeau is re-elected he will once again break his promises to Canadians and raise taxes on hard-working Canadian families.
Let’s take a look at some of Justin Trudeau’s most notable broken promises.
Balanced Budgets:
“I am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have. We’ve said we are committed to balanced budgets and we are. We will balance that budget in 2019.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015
It’s 2019, and as we can see the budget did not “balance itself.” Justin Trudeau is running endless deficits that threaten the social services Canadians depend on and if re-elected Trudeau will just raise your taxes to pay for his out of control spending.
Justin Trudeau is not as advertised.
Electoral Reform:
“As Prime Minister, I’ll make sure the 2015 election will be the last under first-past-the-post system.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015
There’s another election, and guess what? It’s being held under first-past-the-post.
Justin Trudeau is not as advertised.
Veterans:
“Our plan will give back to those who have given so much in service to all Canadians, and will ensure that no veteran has to fight the government for the support and compensation they have earned.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election Platform
Justin Trudeau looked a military hero in the eye – a man who lost his leg fighting for our country – and said that veterans are “asking for more than we are able to give.”
Justin Trudeau is not as advertised.
Accountability:
“We will restore trust in our democracy.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election Platform
Justin Trudeau was the first Prime Minister in our country’s history to be found guilty of breaking ethics laws, and he did it not once but twice!
Justin Trudeau has stonewalled the Ethics Commissioner, shut-down parliamentary committees search for answers into Liberal corruption scandals, and he is now doing everything in his power to block the RCMP from investigating his office.
Justin Trudeau is not as advertised.
Lower Taxes for the Middle Class:
“We will give middle class Canadians a tax break.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election Platform
Justin Trudeau has raised taxes on 80 per cent of middle-class families, and his carbon tax punishes everyday moms and dads driving their kids to hockey practice.
If Justin Trudeau is re-elected, his carbon tax is going to increase the price of gasoline by 31 cents per litre.
Justin Trudeau is not as advertised.
Conservatives the first campaign to have 338 candidates register with Elections Canada
September 29, 2019
Today, the Conservative Party of Canada became the first party to register all of their candidates with Elections Canada.
The deadline for candidates to register for the upcoming election is Monday, September 30th at 2 PM.
“The Conservative Party team is diverse, experienced, and ready to put more money in your pockets so that you can get ahead,” said Hamish Marshall, the National Campaign Manager for the Conservative Party of Canada. “This is a team that is ready to win on October 21st and a team that is ready to stand-up for Canadians as part of a new Conservative Government.”
The Conservative Party slate of candidates includes a record 107 women candidates, as well as Indigenous Canadians, LGBTQ+ Canadians, Muslims, Sikhs, Jewish Canadians, Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists.”
The candidates also come from a variety of professional backgrounds:
- Veterans
- Police officers
- Small business owners
- Public servants
- Farmers
- Teachers
- Stay-at-home parents
- Healthcare professionals
- Financial professionals
- Engineers
- Journalists
- Professional athletes
- A Juno-award winning country music star
- A Paralympic gold-medalist
- An Olympic gold-medalist
“This election will be about one thing: who do you trust to help you get ahead,” added Marshall. “Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives are the only party that will lead a government that lives within its means and puts more money in your pockets.”
Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives will:
- Scrap the Trudeau Carbon Tax, lowering the cost of everyday essentials like gas, groceries and home heating.
- Introduce the Universal Tax Cut, saving a couple earning average salaries $850.
- Take the GST off home heating costs, saving your family $107 every year.
- Introduce the Green Public Transit Tax Credit, saving a family of four who take transit up to $1,000.
- Make maternity benefits tax-free, putting up to $4,000 back in the pockets of new parents.
- Introduce the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, allowing parents to claim up to $1,000 for sports activities.
- Introduce the Children’s Arts and Learning Tax Credit, letting parents claim up to $500 for arts and learning programs.
- Expand the Age Credit, benefiting the lowest income Canadians the most and giving a senior couple up to $300.
- Boost government-matching to RESPs by 50 per cent, helping parents get more for their kids’ education.
- Introduce the Green Home Renovation Tax Credit, putting up to $3,800 back in the pockets of Canadians for green home improvements.
Justin Trudeau’s desperate campaign spending announcements to cost $57 billion
September 29, 2019
In the face of scandal, Trudeau reveals platform, making billions in farcical promises to Canadians
In an attempt to cover up international embarrassment, Justin Trudeau has revealed his platform, announcing a staggering $57 billion in campaign promises. The tally of his disastrous campaign is mounting, and so is his debt.
“Justin Trudeau will do or say anything to get re-elected. If given four more years, we know that Trudeau is going to raise your taxes to pay for his out of control spending,” said Pierre Poilievre, MP Carleton at a media availability in Ottawa.
To reveal the true cost of Justin Trudeau’s poor judgement, the Conservative Party has once again done the math:
- Justin Trudeau’s campaign promises added to his existing deficits will pile on $100 billion of new debt to the books;
- His deficit will hit $27.4 billion in 2020; and,
- Total debt by the end of Justin Trudeau’s second term would be over $800 billion.
What does that mean for you? Justin Trudeau’s never-ending spending will threaten the quality of our health and social programs. He will be forced to raise taxes to pay for his endless debt and deficits.
To pay just half of Justin Trudeau’s deficits ($14B), he would have to either:
- Raise the GST by 2% or;
- Raise the rate on the first income tax bracket from 15% to 19% or;
- Raise the rate on the second income tax bracket from 20.5% to 27% or;
- Lower the basic personal amount from $12,069 to $6,869.
Further, by reaching $823 billion in total debt, Trudeau is will spend $35 billion on interest payments alone. That’s $35 billion that will not go to Canadians’ priorities.
Justin Trudeau campaigned on a promise to help the middle class. Instead, he raised taxes on 80 per cent of middle-class Canadians and imposed a carbon tax that makes everyday essential more expensive. If Justin Trudeau is re-elected, his carbon tax is going to increase the price of gasoline by 31 cents per litre.
“This election will come down to the choice between a government who thinks they can spend your money better than you, raises taxes, and makes your life more unaffordable – and a new Conservative government that will lower your taxes and put more money in your pocket,” said Poilievre.
JUSTIN TRUDEAU’S BROKEN PROMISES:
Balanced Budgets:
“I am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have. We’ve said we are committed to balanced budgets and we are. We will balance that budget in 2019.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015

My Review of No Retreat No Surrender; Karate Tiger
Recently, I have been re-watching the No Retreat no Surrender AKA Karate Tiger movies that I have in my collection. I decided to watch each one and see if I still enjoyed them like I used too.
I found out indeed I do still really enjoy all of the ones I managed to get through so far. This will be my review and very brief summary of the first film from 1986, with Kurt McKinney.
Released in 1986 the story goes like so. The father of the main hero teenager played by Kurt has his leg broken by a very young Van Damme. Wanting to teach his son the lesson not to always need to use his karate for defense moves to a new town.
There Kurt begins to be bullied by the people from the local dojo. After one experience that is extremely bad his father goes somewhat berserk and tells him he can no longer have his Karate stuff.
He goes somewhat nutty himself and runs to Bruce Lee's grave and prays for help. Bruce shows up that night and begins training him in his Jeet kun do. Meanwhile there is s big fighting Tournament coming to town.
The fight it turns out is with Van Damme and our hero pulverizes him using his new schools which brings up the ending credits with the theme song, "Hold onto the Vision."
It is not a high work of art, but, it is fun with lots of well done martial arts choreographed by Cory Yuen. You can find it on DVD and Blueray formats to buy online or maybe even locally. I give it two thumbs way up for feel good, good beats evil fun.

Atheistic conservatives are not uncommon
Some people might find it odd that I am conservative while being atheistic. However, atheism is not uncommon in the conservative movement.
Famous conservatives such as; George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Anthony Daniels, Walter Olson, Heather Mac Donald, James Taranto, Allahpundit and S.E. Cupp are all atheists. The famed, fiscal conservative economist, Milton Friedman was an atheist as well.
While those conservatives that were and are sympathetic to Ayn Rand find religion as an evil act of not thinking based on reason, but, being a mystic of the mind. In addition, Christopher Hitchens fully supported conservative views on things like the War on Terrorism. As well as being personally identified as an atheist that was personally pro-life.
Atheism is defined as simply denying the existence of the supernatural and paranormal as being real. It does not mean you will have any particular views on politics or economics outside of being against Theocratic government. On which I am as against as any other atheist or Secularist.

Trudeau’s plan to shut down Prince Edward Island’s fishing industry is a slap in the face: Stewart
September 26, 2019
Kensington, PEI – Stephen Stewart, Conservative Candidate for Malpeque, issued the following statement regarding today’s announcement that the Trudeau Liberals plan to shut down Prince Edward Island’s fishing industry:
“Justin Trudeau’s promise to shut down 25 percent of Canada’s oceans by 2025, is a direct slap in the face to fishermen in Malpeque and across Prince Edward Island who depend on the fishery to support their families and their communities.
“For four years, Wayne Easter has stood by silently as his government undercut the consultation process that is vital to designating protected areas. As a result, Marine Protected Areas are being determined before consultation happens and fishermen and small coastal communities are being forced to fight their government to defend their interests. This is wrong and must stop.
“Malpeque deserves a strong voice in Ottawa, not another Liberal MP who won’t even stand up for jobs in his own riding. I understand that the fishery is a key economic driver in our province and I will always stand up for fishermen and fight for their right to earn a livelihood.
“Conservatives recognize that Canada must have a robust protected area system. That is why a Conservative government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Andrew Scheer, will conduct consultations with local communities and governments, business owners, and Indigenous peoples to make sure that our approach has the best interests of the communities in mind.
“A new Conservative government will stop the Liberal attack on rural communities and work with fishermen to ensure that federal government policies aren't negatively impacting their livelihoods.”
ANNOUNCEMENT: More Support For Veterans
ANNOUNCEMENT: More Support For Veterans
A new Conservative government will:
1. Enshrine, in legislation, a Military Covenant between the Government of Canada and all Canada’s Veterans. This will guarantee that every Veteran is treated with respect and is provided services in a timely manner.
2. Clear the current backlog of Veterans’ benefit applicationswithin 24 months.
3. Create a reliable, dependable pension system that, unlike the Liberal status quo, is fair to Canada’s most disabled Veterans.
4. Strengthen transition services to support discharged or retired Canadian Armed Forces members.
5. Strike an independent inquiry to provide answers about Canadian Armed Forces members who were administered mefloquine.
6. Provide more service dogs to Canadian Veterans in their communities.
7. Put vital commemoration projects, like the National Memorial for Canada’s War in Afghanistan, back on track.
Conservatism vs. Libertarianism
Over the last decade, more and more people on the right have begun to refer to themselves as “libertarian” instead of “conservative” when describing their ideal way of running government.
While there are many good things about the libertarian view, there are dramatic differences between libertarians and conservatives.
This week, David Azerrad talks about the differences, clears up misconceptions, and pushes back against narratives.

Scheer pledges support to small businesses
September 24, 2019
New Conservative government to repeal Trudeau tax increases and reduce red tape
Small business owners can look forward to a new Conservative government repealing Justin Trudeau’s tax increases and cutting red tape, announced Andrew Scheer at Cracker Jack’s Bar and Grill today.
“Justin Trudeau thinks small businesses are tax cheats, “said Scheer. “In the last four years, it has become more expensive than ever to run a business. Trudeau’s Carbon Tax raised the price of gasoline and heating, making it harder to pay monthly bills. His payroll tax hikes hurt the bottom line, and his unprecedented tax hike on small businesses in 2017 – although Canada’s Conservatives and business leaders came together to try to stop it – ended up costing small businesses even more.”
The government should not stand in the way and make life more difficult for those trying to make a living and grow their business.
Not only are small businesses victim to the Trudeau government’s tax hikes, small businesses across the country are also struggling under a massive regulatory burden. Justin Trudeau has imposed more than 4,300 job-killing, growth-choking federal regulations on Canadian business since 2015.
A new Conservative government will take several measures to support our small businesses:
- Repeal Trudeau’s tax increases on small business investments
- Exempt spouses from Trudeau’s tax increases on small business dividends
- Make it easier to navigate Canada’s tax system and the Canada Revenue Agency
- Reduce federal regulations by 25 per cent
- Implement a 2-for-1 rule for new regulations
- Assign a Minister reporting directly to the Prime Minister to lead red tape reduction efforts
- Mandate ministers and regulators to support innovation, economic growth, and global competitiveness
- Champion Canada’s small businesses to the world
“A new Conservative government will continue to celebrate small businesses as drivers of prosperity, and not view them merely as sources of revenue,” said Scheer. “It’s time to stop Justin Trudeau’s attacks on small business owners. It is time for Canada’s small businesses to get ahead.”
FACTS:
- Of the 95,000 businesses that are created in Canada each year, barely 50 per cent will survive to celebrate their tenth anniversary. Over the last four years, it has become more difficult than ever to start and grow a business.
- In 2017, Trudeau proposed a disastrous set of small business tax increases that were only partially abandoned because of effective pressure by Canada’s Conservatives and massive public outcry.
- Trudeau tried to hike taxes on small businesses’ investment income to 73 per cent, and then went after small business owners’ spouses, ending a long-standing tax exemption on dividend payments.
- The Canadian Chamber of Commerce (CCC) reports there were 131,754 federal regulations on the books when Justin Trudeau took office in 2015. Public policy think-tank MEI reports that by 2018, the number of federal regulations rose to 136,121 – an increase of more than 4,300.
- In late 2018, the Financial Post reported that regulatory burden was “killing Canada’s competitiveness.”
ANDREW SCHEER’S PLAN FOR YOU TO GET AHEAD:
- Scrap the Trudeau Carbon Tax, lowering the cost of everyday essentials like gas, groceries, and home heating.
- Introduce the Universal Tax Cut, saving an average couple $850.
- Take the GST off home heating costs, saving your family $107 every year.
- Introduce the Green Public Transit Tax Credit, saving a family of four who take transit up to $1,000.
- Make maternity benefits tax-free, putting up to $4,000 back in the pockets of new parents.
- Introduce the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, allowing parents to claim up to $1,000 for sports activities.
- Introduce the Children’s Arts and Learning Tax Credit, letting parents claim up to $500 for arts and learning programs.
- Expand the Age Credit, benefiting the lowest income Canadians the most and giving a senior couple up to $300.
- Boost the RESP, helping parents get more for their kids’ education. For some, that could be $540 more.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION:
Trudeau’s desperate climate plan will cost Canadians billions and jeopardize hundreds of thousands of jobs
September 24, 2019
Trudeau will raise taxes by $3,000 per family and increase gas prices by 73 cents/liter
Today Justin Trudeau announced that a re-elected Liberal Government would use legislation to force Canada to commit to net-zero emissions by 2050.
Trudeau’s plan would raise taxes by $3,000 on middle-class families and hike gasoline prices by 73 cents/liter.
He will destroy the economies of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, while also destroying the manufacturing sector in Ontario and Quebec.
Hundreds of thousands of people will lose their jobs.
And these are just modest estimates. To realize his goal, Justin Trudeau will need to make even more irresponsible changes like:
- Make air travel affordable only to the very rich;
- Eliminate Canada’s energy industry;
- Transition away from the manufacturing sector;
- Ban natural gas use; and/or
- Shut down cattle farming in the agriculture sector.
Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives recognize the global environmental impact of climate change. That is why we have a responsible, fully costed and effective plan to address global emissions.
Our Conservative plan saves Canadian jobs and decreases global emissions, while Trudeau’s plan kills local jobs and increases global emissions.
For the fourth day in a row, in the midst of yet another scandal, Justin Trudeau has thrown out an uncosted promise.
Only Andrew Scheer has a plan to put more money in your pocket and help you get ahead.
To ensure Justin Trudeau doesn’t destroy our economy and raise your taxes we must defeat his desperate and out-of-touch Liberals on October 21st.
Scheer announces Green Home Renovation Tax Credit to lower greenhouse gas emissions
September 25, 2019
New tax credit will allow Canadians to save up to $3,800 on green home renovations
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer was at Potvin & Bouchard today, highlighting the Conservatives’ proposed Green Home Renovation Tax Credit, a two-year program to encourage homeowners to renovate their homes in ways that lower their power bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Canadians will be eligible to receive a 20% refundable credit on their income tax for green improvements to their homes of over $1,000 and up to $20,000. This would allow Canadians to save up to $3,800 on their renovations each year.
Eligible renovations would include:
- Installation of high-quality insulation
- Investments in high-efficiency furnaces
- Replacement of doors and windows with more efficient models
- Upgrading of ventilation, heating and cooling systems
- Installation of solar panels
In 2017, emissions from buildings represented 12% of Canada’s overall emissions.
“No environmental plan is complete without a serious plan to tackle emissions from buildings,” Scheer said. “Our Green Home Renovation Tax Credit will help lower these emissions and fight climate change while putting more money in Canadians’ pockets so they can get ahead.”
This measure is one of the 55 policies of our environmental plan, A Real Plan to Protect Our Environment, introduced earlier this year. It is a realistic plan that balances Canada’s obligation to fight climate change with the core Conservative promise to put more money in Canadians’ pockets so they can get ahead.
FACTS:
- Justin Trudeau’s signature so-called environmental policy is, in reality, not an environmental policy at all. His Carbon Tax gives big polluters a pass while punishing Canadians for driving to work and heating their homes.
- Canadian families and small businesses pay 92% of Trudeau’s Carbon Tax, while big polluters are only on the hook for 8%.
- Justin Trudeau and his environment minister have confirmed that a carbon tax hike is on the table, and the Conservative Party conducted research to determine just how much it would cost the average Canadian household. At the $102/ tonne level, Trudeau’s Carbon Tax would
- Increase the cost of natural gas by $469 per year
- Add 31 cents/litre to the price of gasoline.
- This means $2/litre gasoline is just around the corner if the Trudeau Liberals are re-elected. It is Canadians who bear the cost of Justin Trudeau’s Carbon Tax.
- In Ontario, the five-fold increase to the carbon tax would cost you $1,151.
- In New Brunswick, the five-fold increase to the carbon tax would cost you $959.
- In Manitoba, the five-fold increase to the carbon tax would cost you $1,116.
- In Saskatchewan, the five-fold increase to the carbon tax would cost you $1,930.
- In Alberta, the five-fold increase to the carbon tax would cost you $2,002.
Andrew Scheer’s Plan for you to get ahead:
- Scrap the Trudeau Carbon Tax, lowering the cost of everyday essentials like gas, groceries, and home heating.
- Introduce the Universal Tax Cut, saving an average couple $850 per year.
- Take the GST off home heating costs, saving your family $107 every year.
- Introduce the Green Public Transit Tax Credit, saving a family of four who take transit up to $1,000.

Gasoline prices expected to rise by 73 cents/liter under Justin Trudeau’s plan
Today the Conservative Party of Canada released video of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal MP, Rob Oliphant, telling Canadians that “gasoline prices need to go up” and for Canadians to “wrap their heads around” the reality that it’s going to happen, whether you like it or not.
Justin Trudeau said last April that high gasoline prices are “exactly what we want” and under Trudeau’s plan that’s going to happen.
Yesterday Trudeau announced a plan that would increase the price of gasoline by 73 cents/liter more. He wants to make car and air travel affordable only for the very wealthy.
Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives have a plan for the environment that will lower gasoline prices and decreases global emissions, while Trudeau’s plan raises gasoline prices and increases global emissions.
Conservatives recognize the global environmental impact of climate change. That is why we have a responsible, fully costed and effective plan to address global emissions.
Only Andrew Scheer has a plan to put more money in your pocket and help you get ahead.
To ensure Justin Trudeau doesn’t increase gasoline prices by 73 cents/liter, Canadians must defeat his desperate and out-of-touch Liberals on October 21st.
Trudeau’s green energy retrofit program is not as advertised

Trudeau’s plan puts you further in debt while Andrew Scheer’s plan puts more money in your pocket
Today Justin Trudeau announced interest-free loans for Canadians to renovate their homes. But Canadians who are struggling to make-ends-meet can’t afford a loan to renovate their house while Justin Trudeau continues to hike taxes and make life more unaffordable.
Justin Trudeau wants you to take on as much as $40,000 in debt to make your home energy efficient, while Andrew Scheer has a plan to put more money in your pocket, as much as $3,800.
Trudeau’s green renovation plan will require you to be audited by the government, not once but twice. Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives won’t require the government to come to your house and tell you how to renovate your home.
Trudeau’s Liberals will even make you pay for one of these audits.
What’s worse, to pay for this loan program, Justin Trudeau is going to use the money you paid the CHMC to help wealthy landlords replace the windows and roofs on their investment properties.
In fact, part of Trudeau’s plan only applies to the very rich who can afford expensive homes.
Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives have a plan a better plan to help you get ahead by making Canadians eligible to receive a 20% refundable credit on their income tax for green improvements to their homes of over $1,000 and up to $20,000. This would allow Canadians to save up to $3,800 on their renovations each year.
Andrew Scheer to launch inquiry into SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal
September 26, 2019
A new Conservative government would take measures to safeguard against abuse of power
In Justin Trudeau’s riding of Papineau, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer announced today that a new Conservative government would launch a judicial inquiry into the SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal.
A new Conservative government will also introduce the No More Cover-Ups Act to allow the RCMP to access information protected by cabinet confidence by making an application to the Supreme Court of Canada. This will prevent corrupt politicians from hiding behind cabinet confidence to escape police investigation.
As confirmed by hours of Parliamentary testimony, taped conversations, and an Ethics Commissioner’s guilty verdict, Trudeau politically interfered in SNC-Lavalin’s criminal prosecution by trying to “circumvent, undermine, and ultimately attempt to discredit” former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould.
However, to this day, Trudeau refuses to waive cabinet confidence, keeping important details of the scandal secret and preventing several key witnesses, including Ms. Wilson-Raybould, from disclosing evidence.
“Justin Trudeau has covered up his role in the SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal every step of the way,” Scheer said. “He blocked three Parliamentary investigations, refused to co-operate with the Ethics Commissioner, and is currently blocking the RCMP from obtaining key evidence. As Prime Minister, I will call a judicial inquiry so Canadians can finally get the answers they deserve.”
“No longer will a corrupt Prime Minister be able to be the gatekeeper of his own misconduct,” said Scheer. “These measures will safeguard our democracy against the whims of sleazy and unscrupulous politicians. Justin Trudeau has so far avoided consequence for the SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal, but the Canadian people will deliver their verdict on October 21.”
FACTS:
- In 2017, Justin Trudeau became the first Prime Minister in Canadian history to be found guilty of breaking ethics laws for accepting a vacation from a lobbyist. In August, he was found guilty again for his role in the SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal.
- Trudeau abused the power of his office to shut down two separate Ethics Committee investigations and a Justice Committee investigation.
- In his final report, Trudeau II, Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion noted, “During this examination, nine witnesses informed our Office that they had information they believed to be relevant, but that could not be disclosed because, according to them, this information would reveal a confidence of the Queen’s Privy Council and would fall outside the scope of Order in Council 2019-0105.”
- Right before the election, Canadians learned the RCMP is being prevented from investigating possible obstruction of justice because Trudeau refuses to waive cabinet confidence.
ANDREW SCHEER’S PLAN FOR YOU TO GET AHEAD:
