Trudeau chief of staff to testify on foreign interference at committee
at the Procedure and House Affairs Committee, where Liberals were engaged in a lengthy filibuster. A motion to call her finally passed on Tuesday morning.
“The Conservatives are trying to gin up the toxicity and partisanship by making a political theatre out of it and by catching Ms. Telford or others in not being able to answer direct questions,” Trudeau said. “We are saying very clearly, if the Liberal government does not stop the obstruction … and if the Liberal government and Justin Trudeau doesn’t permit his chief of staff to testify, then we will force them to do that,” Singh said.
Despite filibustering a committee for two weeks on an issue they say is too serious for partisan games, the Liberals insisted Tuesday that their focus has been on making Parliament work — not scoring political points. “They have to answer for why they wasted so much time blocking and obstructing of the work of the committee,” he said.
