from. our industry. justin trudeau came to power in two thousand and fifteen promising a new standard of government transparency and inclusion but a corruption scandal involving the engineering firm. and the resignation of two female cabinet members is called into question his reputation as a left wing darling check out this report filed in march by al-jazeera correspondent daniel la. one of canada's largest engineering companies is charged with paying bribes worth tens of millions of dollars to the government of the late libyan dictator moammar gadhafi if found guilty the company faces being blocked from bidding for lucrative canadian government contracts in extraordinary testimony to a parliamentary committee the attorney general said trudeau and his advisors tried to make or accept a plea deal trudeau in his inside circle have said they did nothing wrong they were acting to save

a company employing nearly ten thousand canadians opinion polls indicate the scandal is hurting the prime minister's popularity with an election later this year his party will have to take urgent steps to save itself from defeat both the cabinet ministers who resigned say they still support the government possible hint they'd serve another leader someone other than justin trudeau the promise of a few years ago has long gone as canada's prime minister attempts to weather the worst political crisis he's ever faced. well here now to help us explore whether the controversy will prove to be a referendum on both trudeau and the liberal party chris elliott is a columnist for the national post he joins us from toronto also in toronto many as a shake is a lawyer and liberal party supporter and in winnipeg me gun sinclair is a professor of native studies at the university of manitoba welcome everyone to the stream i want to start with a headline and a new poll just out on tuesday have a look here this from reuters canada's golden boy trudeau sinks in polls

a scandal takes a toll some going to scroll down here after that kind of explosive headline there and show you this the ruling liberals have lost six percentage points since the start of the year ceding the lead to the rival conservatives and if the election was held now which it isn't it's in october the conservatives would win thirty four point nine percent of the vote liberals thirty two point eight percent chris explain the situation for us in our international audience how big of a deal is this quote unquote scandal. well it depends what the scandal is in your mind you know the root of this is as that report explained. an allegation from former attorney general jody wilson grable that the prime minister's office put undue pressure on her to arrange what's called a deferred prosecution agreement for s. and c. level on which is a huge contract based engineering firm with excellent political connections. and which has been lobbying the government hard to get that agreement and she says he

crossed the line. or his office crossed a line or has his underlings cross the line on his behalf in trying to strong arm or strong arm her into interfering when she had already decided that she wouldn't that's the precipitating event but what's happened since is that essentially it's called a whole bunch of elements of trudeau's brand. into question. you know you suppose to be a very different kind of prime minister pro-feminist pro indigenous he said he wanted ministers who would think an active dependently and do what was right and now he's ended up kicking out of caucus candidates first indigenous female justice minister and jodie wilson raybold and another very impressive female minister jane felt odd for basically standing on the same principle that will separate will that what was standing on so it's a very sort of old style politics look very strong arm my way or the highway kind of approach which is totally antithetical to the brand that he that he. ran on in

twenty fifteen and that attracted a lot of younger idealistic left leaning voters so it depends what you think the scandal is as i say but i think that certainly he has done a lot of damage to that brand which was very effective in twenty fifteen in bringing out a certain chunk of the canadian electorate and that might explain why we're seeing tweets like that that tweeted the thing from dave he said he had been spinning a different tale about the elavil and since this story broke at no time in the speaking of the prime minister here and he admitted even in. error in judgment not the openness and honesty he had promised but rather the politics as usual canada had known before duplicitous really to plessis these are strong words here what's your take on this i take issue with the word duplicitous and i actually take issue with the word scandal as well so i do my best to avoid it when i can with respect to what's happening here you know we have the better part of six or seven months

before the king federal election and i really hope that the liberal government is going to use this opportunity to you know educate canadians on essentially what has happened here and i do agree i mean some criticism here i do agree that perhaps their messaging from the outset when this issue with respect to s. and c. arose wasn't as transparent and i could tell you from a legal from a legal perspective and sadly it seems that there is little concern for what legally untoward and the court of public opinion is more concerned about brand damage but nothing illegally untoward happened when looking at a different prosecution agreement or a remediation agreement which is essentially what the liberal government had asked our asked our previous attorney general to consider you know the perception unfortunately is that it is some sort of slap on the wrist yes you are avoiding criminal prosecution but i think it's really important for your viewers to understand that while you are avoiding criminal trial there is

a discouragement of any profits that you would have made as a result of any of the port unlawful behavior and there's also the pain of an extremely have to find and clearly demonstrating to the government through some very close monitoring that could last two years that you've cleaned house and all the perpetrators or even the alleged perpetrators are no longer there so this view that you know there is something in a sneaky happening in there trying to get them to agree to this underhanded agreement i think that's where most and that's where most of the problems unfortunately. have arisen so much to say on this but i thought it was learned to give that back on the remediation agreement and that makes sense of the the idea of something sneaky happening though is something that people online are raising and at issue part of this issue is a secret recording i want our audience to have a listen to this tony wilson raybold while still attorney general drew fire from the liberal party for secretly recording another member in aid to justin

trudeau and here's what that sounded like. it look. i i know i know i have a. lot of the prosecution act that i can use i do not believe it is appropriate to use that in this case. i mean. does he understand the.
