Mr. Speaker, with this cover-up, it seems the country has been on mute with respect to these allegations for three years.
The Prime Minister knows that his own office was using the term “sexual harassment” with respect to this allegation in 2018. All of the senior members of his office knew, and used the term “sexual harassment.” It is embarrassing to suggest that he was not aware that it was a #MeToo-style complaint.
The Clerk of the Privy Council knew. His senior adviser knew. The chief of staff to the Prime Minister of Canada knew for three years. Why did she lie to him?
