Can the P.M. bounce back from ethics ruling?

The federal integrity commissioner’s finding that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau violated the conflict of interest rules is an aftershock to the earthquake that rocked the government through the first few months of this year.

      

Let’s start with Dion’s finding that Trudeau violated Section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act by trying to influence his then-justice minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould, to benefit the interests of a third party: SNC-Lavalin.

                                                        

      

But the real blows to Trudeau’s reputation were inflicted earlier this year when the testimony of Wilson-Raybould, of former Privy Council clerk Michael Wernick, and of Trudeau’s former principal secretary Gerald Butts were playing out on live TV.
