Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Scandals — A Guest Post By John Fioravanti

Today is a good day to step away from the Trump circus here in the U.S. and see what’s happening in the rest of the world.  A few days ago, I asked if any of my friends in the UK or Canada would be interested in writing a guest post about the situation in their own country, perhaps help us all understand a bit better.  John jumped right in and provided his take on the issues that have injected a…

Jane Philpott: Trudeau crisis grows as minister resigns

Image caption Jane Philpott has resigned from cabinet

One of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau’s top ministers has quit saying she has lost confidence in the government’s handling of a corruption trial.

Treasury Board President Jane Philpott said: “I must abide by my core values, my ethical responsibilities, constitutional obligations.”

Mr Trudeau has denied political meddling in an investigation into engineering giant SNC-Lavalin.

The opposition leader last week called on the prime minister to resign.

Ms Philpott announced her decision to step down on Monday, posting her resignation letter detailing her “serious concerns” with “evidence of efforts by politicians and/or officials to pressure the former Attorney General to intervene in the criminal case involving SNC-Lavalin”.

“There can be a cost to acting on one’s principles, but there is a bigger cost to abandoning them,” her resignation letter said.

The former family physician has held key portfolios in Mr Trudeau’s cabinet – health, indigenous services and, until this week, treasury board president – since being elected in 2015.

She will remain as a member of the Liberal caucus.

This is the third high-profile resignation following accusations Mr Trudeau and some of his top aides tried to shield one of the country’s biggest firms from a corruption trial.

Former attorney general and justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould resigned suddenly from Cabinet in February.

Ms Wilson Raybould has said she and her staff faced four months of a “sustained” and “inappropriate effort” late last year to push for a possible deferred prosecution agreement for the Quebec-based engineering and construction company.

That agreement would have allowed the firm to avoid a criminal trial and instead agree to alternative terms or conditions, like penalties or enhanced compliance measures.

Three ways this story is a problem for Trudeau

The company and two of its subsidiaries face fraud and corruption charges in relation to about C$48m ($36m; £28m) in bribes it is alleged to have offered to Libyan officials between 2001-11.

On 18 February, Mr Trudeau’s top aide, Gerald Butts, announced he was resigning, denying in a statement that he or anyone on his staff had done anything wrong but saying he had to leave so as not to be a distraction from the “vital work” being done by the team.

He is expected to speak on Wednesday before the House of Commons Justice Committee, which is looking into the matter.

Mr Trudeau has maintained that any discussions he had with Ms Wilson Raybould were lawful and appropriate and that his government was concerned that thousands of jobs were at stake if the company went to trial.

The affair has proven politically damaging for Mr Trudeau.

A number of opinion polls indicate his popularity is slipping in the run-up to a general election scheduled for October.

Trudeau says coronavirus projections for Canada will be shared in ‘coming days’

Trudeau says coronavirus projections for Canada will be shared in ‘coming days’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government will release “in the coming days” its projections of how many people could die from the novel coronavirus pandemic in Canada.

That comes as Ontario released its projections for a two-year time span for the pandemic and the potential for 1,600 Ontarians to be dead by the end of the month despite the measures in place.

That’s compared to the potential death toll of 6,000 by the end of the month if there were none.

Countries around the world and several Canadian provinces have moved in recent days to share their best- and worst-case projections for potential death tolls from the virus.

As a result, Trudeau has faced growing calls for the federal government to share its own modelling given the extraordinary demands being placed on Canadians to help mitigate the spread of the pandemic.

But he has not committed to a specific date for that release, saying officials are still working with the provinces to get better-quality data to inform those models.

“There are things we will be sharing with Canadians but we need to make sure we have a better grasp on the data before we put projections out there,” he said.

Health Minister Patty Hajdu also reiterated on Friday that those models will be coming shortly but cautioned they are not exact and rather a “best estimate” of what could happen.

Trudeau has insisted that releasing projection models is not as useful as sharing hard information, but his refusal so far to share best- and worst-case scenarios has prompted criticism and calls to change.

Among those voices was former health minister Jane Philpott, who Trudeau kicked out of the Liberal caucus last year for raising concerns about his handling of the SNC-Lavalin scandal.

This is not the time to hide bad news. This includes real-time updates, open-source data, best/worse case projections – in short, we’d like radical transparency.#KnowledgeImpactsBehaviourhttps://t.co/if5o6ETvH9

She tweeted on Thursday that “this is not the time to hide bad news” and urged the government to offer “radical transparency” for Canadians.

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer also called for the release of the data on Friday morning.

“Mr. Trudeau says his government is being guided by the evidence,” he said. “It’s time to release that evidence.”

The B.C. government shared its best- and worst-case forecasts roughly two weeks ago, along with the projected potential shortfalls in resources like intensive care beds.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney offered partial insight into that province’s projections Thursday night in the legislature as well, saying health officials there expect to see 250 Albertans need intensive care beds by April 22 — three weeks before they predict the number of cases in the province will peak.

Ford had initially resisted sharing Ontario’s projections with the public, saying as recently as Wednesday that he feared they might cause panic. He reversed course on Thursday, pledging to release the data.

“You deserve to see the same data that I see, you deserve to know what I know,” he said during a briefing with media on the state of the virus in the province.

A leaked report of the potential forecast in Saskatchewan was also obtained by Global News last week, and that shows the government there views 15,000 deaths as the worst-case scenario.

READ MORE: Ontario reports 462 new coronavirus cases, total now at 3,255 and 67 deaths

Countries around the world have started to offer their grim vision for how the disease could play out. In the United States, officials said Tuesday there could be between 100,000 and 240,000 deaths in that country as a result of COVID-19, with 200,000 expected even “if we do things almost perfectly.”

New Zealand published a government-commissioned model to design its “plan for” scenario, in which 65 per cent of the public becomes infected, 336,000 people require hospitalization and between 12,600 and 33,600 to die.

And a report by Reuters on Thursday cited a U.K. official as saying that country’s worst-case scenario was 50,000 deaths but also cautioning that isn’t being viewed as likely right now.

Young would-be MPs turn backs on Trudeau over SNC-Lavalin scandal

Young would-be MPs turn backs on Trudeau over SNC-Lavalin scandal Young would-be MPs turn backs on Trudeau over SNC-Lavalin scandal https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau is acknowledging the internal strife roiling his Liberal government, telling a group of young women that politics is often about reconciling opposite perspectives and differences of opinion.

But about 48 of the young would-be MPs taking part in the Daughters of the Vote event on the floor of the House of Commons didn’t want to hear it, turning their backs on the prime minister as he spoke.

Trudeau was addressing 338 young women who are taking part in the program, which encourages young women to get involved in politics — some of whom have already used their social media feeds to register their displeasure with the prime minister.

On Tuesday, Trudeau expelled former cabinet ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott out of the Liberal caucus for what he described as breaking the bonds of trust with their fellow MPs over the government’s handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair.

"Nobody in here wants to have to pick who to believe between Jody Wilson-Raybould and Chrystia Freeland," says Trudeau to young women in the House. "Nobody wants to know that one person has to be right and another person has to be wrong between Jane Philpott or Maryam Monsef." pic.twitter.com/JFd05ranDP

— Power & Politics (@PnPCBC) April 3, 2019

The move has fuelled accusations that the Liberals have abandoned their 2015 campaign commitments to Indigenous reconciliation and gender equality.

The SNC controversy has engulfed the government for nearly two months following Wilson-Raybould’s allegations that as attorney general, she was improperly pressured by the Prime Minister’s Office to intervene in criminal proceedings against the Montreal-based engineering giant.

One of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's top ministers has quit saying she has lost confidence in the government's handling of a corruption inquiry. Treasury Board President Jane Philpott said: "I must abide by my core values, my ethical responsibilities, constitutional obligations." Mr Trudeau said he was disappointed by the resignation, but understood it. He has denied political meddling to shield engineering firm SNC-Lavalin from a bribery trial. Opposition Conservatives last week called on the Liberal PM to resign. A number of opinion polls indicate Mr Trudeau's popularity is slipping in the run-up to a general election scheduled for October. What did Jane Philpott say? The cabinet minister announced her decision to step down on Monday, posting her resignation letter detailing her "serious concerns" with "evidence of efforts by politicians and/or officials to pressure the former Attorney General to intervene in the criminal case involving SNC-Lavalin". "There can be a cost to acting on one's principles, but there is a bigger cost to abandoning them," she said in a statement. Her letter said it had become "untenable" for her to continue to serve in the cabinet. "It is a fundamental doctrine of the rule of law that our Attorney General should not be subjected to political pressure or interference regarding the exercise of her prosecutorial discretion in criminal cases," she wrote. "Sadly, I have lost confidence in how the government has dealt with this matter and in how it has responded to the issues raised." The former family physician has held key portfolios in Mr Trudeau's cabinet - health, indigenous services and, until this week, treasury board president - since being elected in 2015. She will remain on as a Liberal member of Parliament. What about Mr Trudeau's response? In a short statement, Mr Trudeau thanked Ms Philpott for "her years of service and her dedication to Canadians". And commenting on the growing political scandal at a rally in Toronto later, the prime minister said: "Concerns of this nature must be taken seriously and I can ensure you that I am." Three ways this story is a problem for Trudeau What is the SNC-Lavalin affair? Quebec-based SNC-Lavalin is one of the world's largest engineering and construction companies. The firm and two of its subsidiaries face fraud and corruption charges in connection with about C$48m ($36m; £28m) in bribes it is alleged to have offered to Libyan officials between 2001-11. Image Copyright @janephilpott@JANEPHILPOTT Report The firm has openly lobbied to be allowed to enter into a remediation agreement instead of going to trial, saying it has cleaned house and changed its ways. SNC-Lavalin says it would be unfair to penalise the company as a whole and its thousands of employees for the wrongdoing of former executives. The matter is proceeding to trial and the company says it will "vigorously defend itself" against the allegations. A conviction could result in a decade-long ban on bidding on Canadian federal contracts, which would be a major financial blow to the firm. A deepening crisis for Trudeau - what it means Who else has resigned? This is the third high-profile resignation following accusations Mr Trudeau and some of his top aides tried to shield SNC-Lavalin from a corruption trial. Former attorney general and justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould resigned suddenly from Cabinet in February. Image Copyright @Puglaas@PUGLAAS Report On 18 February, Mr Trudeau's top aide, Gerald Butts, announced he would quit, denying in a statement that he or anyone on his staff had done anything wrong but saying he had to leave so as not to be a distraction from the team's "vital work". He is expected to speak on Wednesday before the House of Commons Justice Committee, which is looking into the matter. What are the political interference claims? Ms Wilson-Raybould has said she and her staff faced four months of a "sustained" and "inappropriate effort" late last year to push for a possible deferred prosecution agreement for SNC-Lavalin. That agreement would have allowed the firm to avoid a criminal trial and instead agree to alternative terms or conditions, like penalties or enhanced compliance measures. The Liberal government brought in the remediation agreement regime in 2018 as part of a massive budget bill following lobbying efforts by the company. Ms Wilson-Raybould says she resisted that pressure and believes she was shuffled out of the justice portfolio as a consequence. Mr Trudeau has maintained that any discussions he had with Ms Wilson-Raybould were lawful and appropriate and that his government was concerned that thousands of jobs were at stake if the company went to trial.
