Canada's PM Trudeau accepts that he breached ethics rules by trying to influence a corporate legal case, but refused to apologize, saying that he was trying “to stand up for people’s jobs.'
The latest development in the SNC-Lavalin scandal continues to tarnish Trudeau's image as a progressive politician who vowed to make politics more transparent and could dim his chances of winning a second term come October.The firm, a major employer in the politically important province of Quebec, wanted to take advantage of a 2018 law allowing it to escape with a fine rather than be prosecuted for bribing officials in Libya.
Wilson-Raybould refused to overrule the prosecutor's decision and was demoted in a cabinet shuffle in January. However, Trudeau said he disagreed with some of Dion's conclusions, adding that “many people’s jobs were at stake.”
