Conservatives ready to attack Trudeau once Parliament resumes next week
KAMLOOPS — Conservative MPs from across the country are plotting strategy in Victoria this week prior to the next sitting of Parliament.
One of those MPs is Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola Conservative MP Dan Albas who says one issue they plan to hone in on will be the recent ethics scandal surrounding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Last year Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson found Trudeau violated the federal ethics code in relation to his vacation on an island owned by the Aga Khan over the 2016 Christmas holidays.
“This is the first prime minister in our country’s history that’s been found guilty of breaking federal law when it comes to his ethical responsibilities,” Albas says. “(There were) four different occasions that the previous ethics commissioner found he had broken and so this is the first opportunity for my leader, Andrew Scheer, to hold the prime minister to account in Question Period.”
