UPDATED: Trudeau acknowledges 'erosion of trust' between office and former minister
Last Updated Thursday, March 7, 2019 9:58AM EST
"I was not aware of that erosion of trust. As prime minister and leader of the federal ministry, I should have been." Trudeau was asked directly Thursday whether he was apologizing for what unfolded in the SNC-Lavalin case and he stressed that he continues to believe there was "no inappropriate pressure.""I think Canadians expect that of us that in any time we go through periods of internal disagreement and indeed challenges to internal trust as we have, there are things we have to reflect on and understand and do better next time.
"It is our job as parliamentarians to defend the interests of the communities we were elected to represent, to be the voices of those communities in Ottawa," Trudeau said.
