Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government won't be announcing any next steps on probing foreign interference until the Liberals get 'full buy-in' from the opposition parties, to avoid the process devolving as it did under former special rapporteur David Johnston.

“Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has made it clear, both in the House and in writing to LeBlanc that his “demands” are for Trudeau to agree to call an independent inquiry under the Inquiries Act, and then his party would provide a shortlist of names to lead it as well as a proposed mandate and terms of reference.”

I wouldn’t trust any inquiry led by someone Poilievre gets to choose. He refuses to obtain government clearance, what is he hiding?

    He’s not hiding anything, he simply doesn’t want clearance because if he has it he can’t just sit there and yell at trudeau anymore without needing facts to back him up.
