Andrew Scheer calls for public inquiry into Vice-Admiral Mark Norman’s investigation GlobePolitics
Mr. Scheer seen here, said he wants the Prime Minister to launch a formal public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the two-year RCMP probe of Vice-Adm. Norman.Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is calling for a public inquiry into how and why the RCMP launched an investigation into a cabinet leak that led to a criminal charge – eventually stayed – against Vice-Admiral Mark Norman.
Vice-Adm. Norman, a former commander of the navy, was charged last year with a single count of breach of trust, but the charge was stayed last week after his defence team presented the prosecution with new evidence. Mr. Scheer, borrowing a phrase from the SNC-Lavalin affair, said the Prime Minister “may have been in one of his moods where he sent the signal that he was going to find a way to get this done.” In a recorded phone call between then-attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould and then-privy council clerk Michael Wernick, Mr. Wernick told her that Mr. Trudeau was in “that kind of mood” and wanted her to shelve the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin – or there would be consequences.
Mr. Scheer also reiterated his call for the Prime Minister to personally apologize to Vice-Adm. Norman for what he and his family have been through.
