Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says this has been a difficult few weeks because of internal disagreements. Before addressing today’s testimony, he speaks of accomplishments by justice department.
Trudeau says he strongly maintains that he and his staff acted professionally, completely disagrees with Wilson-Raybould’s testimony. Says of course there would be a discussion of jobs.
Trudeau says decision was Wilson-Raybould’s alone. Says jobs and the economy will always be a key issue for the government, including the potential loss of 9,000 jobs, pensions, but days the decision was Wilson-Raybould’s alone.

We will be underway shortly at the justice committee. @Puglaas to give a 30-minute opening statement followed by a Q&A with MPs. Watch this space.
@Puglaas You haven't missed a thing. Votes in the House have pushed back the start time of the committee.
JWR has taken her seat around the committee table. A lot of media interest, as you can imagine.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should study the writings of his late father, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, the principal architect of Canada’s multiculturalism policy.
The late prime minister was an erudite scholar who wrote extensively about the nation-state, multiculturalism and the notion of citizenship.
The Essential Trudeau, edited by Ron Graham, is a collection of PET’s writings on various issues and political philosophy. And the 1998 book includes updated versions of articles Trudeau wrote in the 1960s.
