A Canadian politics associate professor says Justin Trudeau seems to have a habit of creating situations which are highly questionable.
The prime minister is now facing his third ethics investigation amid the WE Charity controversy and will be answering questions before a House of Commons committee on Thursday.
The Liberal government has been under fire for awarding a $900 million student grant program to WE Charity despite its close connections to the Trudeau family and finance minister Bill Morneau.
Mount Allison University’s Mario Levesque thinks Canadians are getting tired of all of the apologies.
He says a lot of it is Trudeau’s own doing.
“If you look through all of them (ethics cases), a little bit more clear ability to navigate things I think would save him a lot of grief and his party a lot of grief. Right now with a minority government, it does make things very challenging,” Levesque notes.
The Conservatives are calling for both Trudeau and Bill Morneau to resign but Levesque doesn’t see that happening.
He adds the best strategy for opposition parties would be to come together and pass a motion of non-confidence in the House of Commons.
But Levesque believes the Liberals could make some kind of deal with the NDP for example to help support the government.
