Prime Minister Andrew Scheer
pulls no punches
persuading his Attorney General
to drop charges against SNC-Lavalin.
He knows the importance
of keeping the company going.
Across the aisle,
Leader of the Opposition Justin Trudeau
speaks highly about the rule of law,
blames the Prime Minister for
bullying and threatening the Attorney General,
condemns a behaviour he declares
is harassment.
He knows the importance
of keeping the story running.
