PM Trudeau is asked about the RCMP questions, says he has given most expansive waiver of cabinet confidence ever (I don’t know if that is true or not), no indication he plans to waive confidence further for RCMP as Trudeau says he respects Clerk’s decision #cdnpoli #elxn43

Trudeau is asked what he personally did wrong in SNC Lavalin scandal since he has said he took responsibility. He does not answer the question, repeats talking points on protecting jobs #cdnpoli #SNCLavalin #elxn43

Trudeau is asked what he says to people who feel calling an election on the anniversary is insensitive. Trudeau says they remember all those who suffered as a result of 9/11 but this is about a better society in this election

Trudeau is now asked about whether his govt will challenge the Quebec secularism law incourt. Trudeau says he is deeply opposed to the Bill and discrimination should not be normalized. BUT “at this time it would be counterproductive” for feds to get involved #cdnpoli #elxn43

Trudeau is asked what he will say to Canadian voters who chose him thinking he would be different but “then you turned out to be just like every other politician.” Trudeau says look at transformation of the country and achievements esp on enviro over last 4 yrs #cdnpoli #elx43

Trudeau is asked again about the secularism law, why if he doesn’t disagree not take it to court? At what point would he consider getting involved? Repeats answer about looking at options but no federal court challenge now #cdnpoli #elxn43
