OTTAWA — On the same day that Liberals are set to unveil their last federal budget before the next federal election, the House of Commons justice committee will hold a hotly anticipated, private meeting to discuss where to go next with its investigation into the SNC-Lavalin affair.
When she testified before the committee earlier this month, Wilson-Raybould accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his senior officials of attempting to politically interfere in the criminal prosecution of the Montreal engineering giant. Trudeau can loosen those constraints. Wilson-Raybould wrote to the justice committee offering to expand on her testimony should he do so. But at its most recent meeting last week the Liberal majority on the committee quashed a motion to invite her in.
Meanwhile, in the lead-up to the election Conservatives have remained preoccupied by the Liberals’ history of running budgetary deficits — last year’s budget predicted a deficit of $18.1 billion for 2018-19, and as of December, the finance department was predicting there wouldn’t be a balanced budget until 2040.
The liberals will overcome this misstep (Distractions)from the real work needing done. The P.M. will WIN another TERM with the support of his White Middleclass families 2019. “F.N. Won’t vote.”
I assume that is their idea.
🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, because the Tories would NEVER use the SNC-Lavalin affair to distract the public from anything the government is doing! 🤣🤣🤣
I guess they truly do rely on all of us being really dumbass sheep who view them as the great sheep herders. I, for one, refuse to follow along!
That’s politics!
Don't look here, there's nothing to see
Wow! Didn’t see that coming!
tlshields85 You think!!!!
Corrupt liberals are angry Trudeau has been outed as a mere ACTOR, an Obama-UN puppet, so they are deflecting, distracting, slinging insults & pushing more division. The Swamp has resurfaced in Canada SNCLavalinScandal is not going away TrudeauIsDone LibsAreDone cdnpoli maga

Cant Change the Channel SNCLavalinScandal NormanScandal Budget won't be balanced until maybe 2040
Good times? with Sytuki Joamie.
This picture was obviously taken long before the SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal broke.
budgets come and go; corruption is forever
Of course it is.
Never thought all these groups would be in so much agreement with each other: Conservatives, New Democrats, the Aboriginal community, the business sector, Albertans, Quebecois, and several of our Nato allies. Hope Justin loses this election, and hard 👍
The liberals wouldn’t do that. Trust them.
A great leader wouldn't worry. Be better Andrew and let's get talking about less taxation
It may be the other way around
Everything the Liberals do is intended to distract. From their record to the SNC scandal. cdnpoli
Yes, let’s not have a budget because we can’t handle more than one news story apparently 🤦♀️
Distraction time!
