Yves Côté said he issued his rare written statement ‘in the interest of maintaining public confidence in the integrity’ of the election law enforcement regime

OTTAWA — The watchdog who enforces Canada’s election laws says no one from the Prime Minister’s Office tried to help SNC-Lavalin avoid being charged with breaking campaign-financing rules.

Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre went further, questioning the integrity of Elections Canada and the elections commissioner, saying they have “a lot of explaining to do.” The Quebec-based engineering firm signed the compliance agreement in 2016, admitting that executives who had left the company by then had convinced employees to give money to both the Liberal and Conservative parties in the late 2000s. Donors were reimbursed with company bonuses as a way around an election law that forbids corporations to make political donations.

Slick Willy.......

Did he look into big cash deposits from laundered money operations.

NEED an enviro deficit clock showing LIB/CONS allowed oil/gas/coal/mining/forestry enviro/human harms without collecting remediation. Are we past $2 trillion yet? CANADA NEEDS A WATER WEALTH FUND before JustinTrudeau gives it to himself & friends. ElizabethMay theJagmeetSingh

WTF? He’s a Liberal stooge can it get any worse? Trudeau admitted he Politically interfered with his words,”There’s an election coming in QUE and I’m the member from Papineau.” He ADMITTED TO POLITICAL INTERFERENCE!!!!’nnn

Liar,liar !!!!!!!!!

Cut from the same cloth as Wernick and Ethics Commissioner Dion. Remember DLeBlancNB getting off with a slap on the wrist for bid rigging in surf clam scandal? Or, Bill_Morneau and JustinTrudeau ethics breaches. WHERE IS CANADA’S WATER WEALTH FUND? 90% gov’t 10% business.

Who in Liberal Land is surprised by this ?

Another member of the ottawa crime family.

Sure..we’re buying that....

Which province is he from

Bias Asshole

All senior civil servants support the Liberal Party.

Government by the government parties. Dont anymore, ndp

Sure, and I have beach front property to sell you in the Arctic.

Bought and paid for Fiberal commissioner

More game-winning moves from the Liberals. There are more types of improper interference a government can undertake than just the strictly political.

Who would like to grab this dweeb by the ear and drag him around Ottawa?

i smell another early retirement coming...

Lapdog or wathdog ?

IS CANADA SO P.C. STRANGLED THAT WE CAN NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT Jody W-R LIED? HElloooo? Any critical thinkers here? cdnmedia cdnpoli idontBelieveHer inm Ottawa jwr bullshiz FN

What a fucking joke.

The elections commissioner is brain dead.

No political interference.... political being crucial word.... lol not at all....but attempt was enough just as FYI.... and we are mushrooms......

Doesn't matter. Nobody respects Trudeau anymore. Regular people get up into his face to tell him off. His friends have all left him. He is rattled, and we all see it. He is frustrated because for the first time in his life he is not getting everything handed to him.

Yeah right 🤥🤦🏻‍♂️

Ha ha ha ...

The opening salvo in the battle for the Liberal government to grant SNC-LAVALIN a deferred prosecution agreement has officially been fired.

The desperate look of 'even I know no one is going to buy this BS'.

Sure...just like when JustinTrudeau said the G&M story about pressuring Puglaas was false....this time they're telling us the truth!!🤨🤨🤔

Another Liberal pay out under the table. Are there any honest people left ?

Of course they are innocent. Just bad luck that their name turns up repeatedly in connection with political interference, corruption, bribery, prostitution, the poor babies. maybe someone is framing them? Or, maybe they are just corrupt. LavScam cdnpoli

No interference? Tell us another fairy tale!!!

That and “the Globe and Mail article is false”. Suuuuuure. trudeauCoverupMachine cdnpoli

After 70 years on this planet, I can identify a ``sleazeball`` when I see one!

Haha

does anyone believe it? not me.

Same guy who did the Trump/Russia investigation?
