New Brunswick federal liberal MP Wayne Long says allegations against Trudeau PMO “left me deeply unsettled.”
Wayne Long – the liberal MP for Saint John, New Brunswick – is joining the growing calls for an investigation of the Trudeau PMO in the SNC-Lavalin Scandal.
Here’s the statement Long posted on social media:
Long also shared his thoughts on Twitter:
“Let me very clear: 1. I am not making, or rushing to, any judgement when it comes to this matter. 2. Past experience in various fields as shown me that complete openness and transparency is the only way forward in situations like this.”

This is a courageous move by Long. He’s taking a big political risk, since Trudeau, Butts, and the PMO will certainly seek to find a way to punish him.
But he’s standing up for what he thinks is right, putting the good of the country ahead of partisanship. Long deserves credit for that.
Long’s call, combined with the Ethics Commissioner investigation into Trudeau, shows that this is a real story, and a massive scandal.
The Trudeau government is trying to hide the truth from the Canadian People, and Canadians across the political spectrum need to unite and get the answers we deserve.
