Trudeau told MPs he was first approached by law department officials from the University of Montreal about the donation in December 2013, which was a “long way” from any idea that his brother might one day form government or even become leader of the opposition.Article contentTrudeau described the deal for the donation as a “four-way agreement” between the foundation, himself as representative of the Trudeau family, the University of Montreal and the donor.

In his opinion, Fournier raised many questions that could have led people to believe there were interference attempts but said they were unfounded.
