Michelle's Record: Restoring Accountability and Ending Liberal Corruption

Justin Trudeau has undermined Canadian democracy and he has been embroiled in major corruption scandals instead of being focused on you.

Some of these scandals include:

• Justin Trudeau’s disastrous trip to India, which sparked outrage across our country and made international news for embarrassing Canada on the international stage 
• Racist and offensive photos surfacing during the 2019 election of Justin Trudeau in blackface 
• The WE Charity scandal, where Trudeau’s government awarded a  sole-sourced contract to the charity that paid $20,000 to fly the Prime Minister’s wife abroad for an event, and spent over $10,000 to produce and promote campaign-style advertising for Justin Trudeau. WE Charity then was rewarded with a half-billion-dollar government contract –  a clear example of pay-for-access.
• Been found guilty of violating ethics rules by Canada’s conflict of interest and ethics commissioner twice. The first sitting Prime Minister to do so in Canadian history.
• In 2019 Justin Trudeau called an election, unnecessarily forcing Canadians to go to the polls to avoid the release of the SNC Lavalin documents 
• With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic the Justin Trudeau Liberals’ prorogued Parliament, limiting the abilities of Opposition members but continued to pile up Canadian debt with record levels of spending 
• During the WE Charity Scandal, after the Conservatives successfully pressured for secret documents to be revealed Justin Trudeau prorogued Parliament to keep these documents secret from the public 
• After a vote in the House of Commons that demanded the government reveal documents about the Winnipeg Microbiology Lab, Justin Trudeau sued the Speaker of the House of Commons to keep these documents secret
• The Trudeau government went over two years without releasing a federal budget failing to provide transparency and democratic accountability to Canadians

Michelle has a strong track record of fighting against Liberal corruption and working to restore accountability.

In 2017, Trudeau had his first ethics violation only two years after being elected.  This ethics violation was found after Trudeau and his family accepted a vacation to the Aga Khan’s private island in the Bahamas. 

In 2018, Trudeau was found guilty again by the Ethics Commissioner for interfering with Canada’s judicial system when he tried to influence the Justice Minister to overrule a decision not to grant a deferred prosecution agreement to SNC- Lavalin. 

Michelle has fought hard against this corruption and lack of accountability here.

Michelle knows that our community, and Canadians deserve better from their government. This is why Michelle and the Conservative Party of Canada have promised that a Conservative government will make immediate changes to restore respect to Canada’s democracy and bring back accountability.

If elected government, the Conservative Party of Canada will put the country first, by enacting the toughest accountability and transparency laws in Canada’s history including:

• Increasing transparency to end Liberal cover-ups;
• Toughening the Lobbying Act to end abuse by Liberal insiders; and
• Toughening the Conflict of Interest Act and imposing higher penalties.
