Andrew Scheer continues to pressure the Prime Minister on his involvement in the SNC-Lavalin affair.
In an open letter, the head of the Federal Conservatives is once again asking the RCMP to investigate the Prime Minister.
We know Justin Trudeau broke the law. Now we need to know if he committed a crime. Read my letter to the RCMP. pic.twitter.com/Cb6XFb4kO0

“My letter to [RCMP] Commissioner [Brenda] Lucki presents what I believe are significant grounds for an investigation into whether or not Justin Trudeau violated Section 139 of the Criminal Code: Obstructing Justice,” Scheer told media Monday.
The Federal Conservative leader points to recent findings that Justin Trudeau broke ethics rules, and last week’s revelations from Jodi Wilson-Raybould that the RCMP spoke with her about the SNC-Lavalin matter.
“This is an extraordinary development. It means the police, at one point at least, were concerned enough about Trudeau’s political interference to question the former Attorney General.”
The PM has stated that he disagrees with parts of the ethics report, but takes “full responsibility” for his actions.
Scheer previously asked the RCMP to investigate the SNC-Lavalin scandal in February.
