So, Trudeau asks a Trudeau Foundation member who asks a Trudeau Foundation mentor who was also involved in the SNC-Lavalin scandal to clear him of a conflict of interest. Laurentianism at its finest.
"I took the trouble of seeking a legal opinion from a retired Supreme Court justice, Justice Frank Iacobucci. He was very clear that there was no conflict of interest with respect to the true obligations," David Johnston says re: questions about his impartiality.

They have no solutions, they are part of the problem.
