Conservative MP Michael Cooper had introduced the motion seeking to investigate responsibility for disclosing confidential information regarding a dispute between the PM and former attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould over who should be the next chief justice of Canada’s top court

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau makes his way back to a cabinet meeting after voting in the House of Commons on Ottawa on April 9, 2019.Federal Liberals have thwarted an opposition attempt to find out who leaked information about a dispute between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould over who should be chief justice of Canada’s top court.

The committee should take Trudeau at his word that neither he nor his staff had anything to do with the leaks, Liberal MP Ali Ehsassi said., chief justice of Manitoba’s Court of Queen’s Bench, be appointed chief justice of Canada, heading the Supreme Court. Opinion: Leak detailing Supreme Court appointment rift only shows how little Trudeau’s camp respects the rule of law

“What we have as a result of this leak is an undermining of the integrity of the appointment process,” Cooper told the committee, adding that Joyal, Wagner and Martin have all had a “cloud” put over them. “Quite frankly, this goes to the heart of the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary, which has been undermined as a result of this leak.”
