Trudeau is more concerned about diversity than competence: Kevin O’Leary
Conservative leadership hopeful Kevin O’Leary says the prime minister has ended up with a mediocre cabinet because he was more concerned about diversity than competence.
O’Leary said he believes diversity and gender parity is important in government, but if elected, he would balance that diversity with competence.
The businessman-turned-reality-TV-star said Justin Trudeau prioritized diversity over who was most qualified for the job.
“Trudeau made a mistake with that mandate. He talked about diversity, diversity, diversity and he never used the word competence,” said O’Leary in a phone interview with The Canadian Press.
