John Ivison: 50 years in public service makes clear that Johnston's loyalty is to Canada, and I am prepared to trust him to do the right thing for Canada.
Justin Trudeau should have ordered a public inquiry, but for reasons we can only speculate about he instead opted to appoint a special rapporteur, whose mandate remains a work in progress.
The Liberal filibuster at parliamentary committees to avoid Trudeau’s chief of staff, Katie Telford, being called to appear as a witness is beyond suspicious.It is fair to question whether that should take the form of a special rapporteur, and if there is to be one, whether it should be someone with more experience in complex investigations, such as a Crown prosecutor.
For Scheer — who was Speaker of the House while Johnston was GG — to question his integrity is especially shameful.Advertisement 6In the introduction to Trust, Johnston says that we live in a time when public confidence in individuals and institutions is under siege. But he says democracy depends on the rule of law and that depends on trust in citizens and institutions.
Johnston says genuine trust is not leapt into blindly — it is gained through actions and decisions; from active inquiry rather than blind acceptance.
