Johnston ‘absolutely unimpeachable,’ Trudeau says in defence of rapporteur appointment
“Justin Trudeau has named a “family friend,” old neighbour from the cottage, and member of the Beijing-funded Trudeau Foundation, to be the “independent” rapporteur on Beijing’s interference,” Poilievre said Thursday.
In the press conference Friday, Trudeau in turn criticized the Conservatives, saying the party is “simply not interested in actually getting answers.” He said Canadians can be “absolutely reassured” that attempted Chinese interference didn’t affect the outcome of the 2019 and 2021 elections. The details of Johnston’s mandate haven’t been released yet. The Liberal government has said it will follow Johnston’s recommendations, which will be made public. Those recommendations could include a formal inquiry or judicial review.
