CONSERVATIVE Party Leader Andrew Scheer on Tuesday slammed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following reports that he intends to prorogue Parliament until October.

He said: “Earlier this year, Justin Trudeau shamefully shut down Parliament to try and avoid accountability.  Now he has locked out Opposition MPs who were working hard to fix his government’s pandemic programs, help Canadians and get to the bottom of his corruption scandal.
 
“Justin Trudeau is walking out on Canadians in the middle of a major health and economic crisis, in a disgusting attempt to make Canadians forget about his corruption.
 
“At a time when Canadians are looking for stability and leadership, Justin Trudeau has given them corruption, chaos, and cover-ups.
 
“Canadians have serious questions about the Trudeau WE scandal. They deserve better than a spineless Prime Minister who uses the power of his office to shut down multiple investigations into his decision to hand $900 million of your tax dollars to his friends at WE.
 
“Hiding out for two months won’t solve the Liberals’ ethical problems.  As long as Justin Trudeau is Prime Minister, the corruption will continue.
 
“Conservatives will continue to hold Justin Trudeau and his government accountable and we will keep fighting for the answers that Canadians deserve.”
