Tomorrow Trudeau’s chief of staff Katie Telford will appear in front of the House of Commons defence committee to answer about a purported cover-up in military sexual misconduct.
According to Global News, it was a contentious situation where the Conservative committee members brought up this proposition last week, only to be “filibustered” by Liberal MPs.
Fast forward to Monday a Defence Committee meeting was cancelled outright by the chair. This meant a further delay in knowledge and insight about how one of the highest ranking military officials was able to keep their job and even get a raise amidst scrutiny.
It was last month that Trudeau’s former senior adviser Elder Marques told the committee that either Telford or Telford’s assistant asked him to “pass” along an allegation that was made against General Jonathan Vance onward to officials. People who then quickly opened and then “abandoned” the investigation.
The state of the situation was described by James Bezan to Global News: “For a week, the Trudeau Liberals have blocked Katie Telford from testifying on her role in this cover-up. Now she’s suddenly available. What’s changed?”
The closeness between Trudeau and Katie Telford cannot be understated. Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole played with this fact when a few days ago he called on Trudeau to fire his Chief of Staff.
O’Toole’s argument was it’s the only way to know if Canada’s Prime Minister is telling the truth in denying knowledge about the sexual misconduct claims against General Vance.
If the Prime Minister is telling the truth, and he wants Canadians to believe that he had no knowledge of the evidence of sexual misconduct against General Vance, he will fire Katie Telford. pic.twitter.com/2nSZolxPZQ

Back in August of last year it was reported that the Trudeau government gave a whopping $84 million to Telford’s husband’s company. He’s the Senior Vice President of MCAP.
