I can mention social media a thousand times to satisfy my Liberal colleagues, but social media is such that Canadians want to know: Is the RCMP impervious to the thought that the Prime Minister is incapable of being charged with a criminal offence?
I know this is a sensitive matter, but I asked you for a pointed response, and I'm not getting a pointed response.
If the RCMP had reasonable and probable grounds to believe that our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, had been involved in a criminal offence, which is your legal threshold—reasonable and probable grounds—and you consulted with the appropriate legal authorities—you consulted with the Department of Justice; you consulted with provincial and territorial Crown attorneys—if they gave you the green light that the facts and the evidence were there and that your legal threshold was met, can you advise Canadians that in that hypothetical you could charge Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with a criminal offence? Yes or no, sir.
