Special rapporteur David Johnston is expected to answer questions for three hours from the committee on procedure and House affairs.
“We shouldn’t have to hire a rapporteur who is a cottage neighbor, a family friend, ski buddy and member of the Trudeau Foundation and then have him try to reverse the reputational damage that that obvious conflict has caused by paying expensive consultants to do damage control,” Poilievre said Monday.Meanwhile, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is expected to replace the NDP’s usual member on the committee, MP Rachel Blaney, to question Johnston personally.
Conservative MPs are expected to be the most confrontational at Tuesday’s hearing, said Lori Turnbull, a professor of political science at Dalhousie University. The New Democrats, meanwhile, have been publicly saying that they respect Johnston and his credentials, while at the same time calling for him to step aside, pointing to the “appearance” of conflicts of interest as undermining his credibility in this role as rapporteur.Article content
