Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's cover-up continues, so let us look at the Prime Minister's actions. One the one hand, the Prime Minister very publicly speculated about and directed the RCMP to charge Vice-Admiral Mark Norman in March 2018, but, on the other hand, the Prime Minister claims he could not politically interfere in starting an investigation into the allegations against General Vance, also in March 2018. Yesterday, the former military ombudsman called this flimsy excuse about political interference both “bizarre” and “weak”.
Why did the Prime Minister cover up these allegations?
