Leader of the Official Opposition Andrew Scheer is using his time in Niagara today to hammer on the SNC Lavalin affair.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Niagara last week for an infrastructure announcement, but his arrival coincided with the release of an Ethic's Commissioner's report on SNC Lavalin stating the Prime Minister had violated the Conflict of Interest Act for the second time.
Trudeau said he takes full responsibility and accepts the Commissioner's report, but hasn't made an apology.
During the event in Niagara-On-The-Lake the Prime Minister also stated, "It will never happen again" while saying he disputes that any contact with Wilson-Raybould was improper.
Trudeau maintains he was standing up for Canadian jobs.
During a stop in Niagara today, Scheer asked Canadians if they want to live in a country where the Prime Minister is above the law.
"I am asking Canadians to think long and hard about the Canada we want. Do we want Canada to be a country where the Prime Minister is above the law?"
While speaking to CKTB's Steph Vivier, Scheer was asked about his request for an RCMP investigation.
"The RCMP has their standard response about taking it under advisement and not making public comment. But what we found out on Friday is that Jody Wilson-Raybould has acknowledged that she was contacted. She had some kind of preliminary questioning or discussions with the RCMP. So it's certainly a sign that they're taking it seriously."
While speaking with CKTB's Steph Vivier, he also touched on a bizarre video that gained traction on social media and is being used in Conservative ads.
The video was filmed during National Acadian Day celebrations and shows Scheer and Trudeau shaking hands while Scheer says, "You have to stop lying to Canadians. You need to come clean."
In the video Trudeau smiles, says, "This is a good day today," and walks away. It's not clear if the Prime Minister heard Scheer.
When asked about the video today, Scheer said, "He was walking quite a bit ahead of me and he decided to turn around and come up to me so I just, just stop lying to Canadians and come clean. I think Canadians would appreciate that, they might not forgive him, but at least we would appreciate some contrition and honesty."
