OTTAWA—In a major shift, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will now weigh whether to call a public inquiry into foreign elections interference after former governor general David Johnston stunned the government Friday, resigning as outside adviser after weeks of controversy over his appointment and the conclusions of his interim report.
Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, in a statement issued within an hour of Johnston’s resignation, said the prime minister has “tasked me with consulting experts and opposition parties on next steps and to assess who is best to lead that work.”
I bet John McCallum gets the nod.
