Trudeau Creating Chaos and Disarray in Canadian Armed Forces: Scheer
July 10, 2019
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Regina, SK
– The Honourable Andrew Scheer, Leader of Canada’s Conservatives and of the
Official Opposition, released the following statement regarding the resignation
of the Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff Paul Wynnyk:
“Justin Trudeau’s meddling and political interference has created
unprecedented chaos in the Canadian Armed Forces. In four years, he has
destroyed the careers of two of our country’s most senior military
officers and caused instability and turmoil at the highest levels of the
military.
“Vice-Admiral Mark Norman gave 38 years of his life in service to our great
country. He served with honour and integrity, even in the face of Trudeau’s
disgusting smear campaign against him.
“Despite everything that has come out, there remain serious and credible questions
about the Trudeau Liberals’ political interference in the Norman prosecution.
Now, as a direct result of Trudeau’s interference, we have once again lost
our military’s second-in-command. Like Mr. Norman, Paul Wynnyk is an
accomplished and dedicated military officer who has been caught in the middle
of Trudeau’s incompetence and poor judgment.
“The brave men and women who serve our country as a part of the Canadian Armed
Forces deserve stability and respect. Unfortunately, Justin Trudeau and
the Liberals have continually put their political self-interests ahead of the
heroes who put their lives on the line for our freedom.
“This is wrong and unconscionable. We must do better. Justin Trudeau promised
to be different, but clearly he is not as advertised. Under my leadership a
Conservative government will do better.”
