Canada's opposition leader AndrewScheer threatened with lawsuit by JustinTrudeau

OTTAWA - Canada's opposition leader on Sunday revealed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had threatened him with a defamation case over his comments about a political scandal that has rocked the government months before the country's election.

Mr Trudeau has been under fire since February when Ms Wilson-Raybould accused him and his inner circle of applying political pressure to prevent a trial of engineering giant SNC-Lavalin, which is accused of corruption in Libya. "If Mr Trudeau believes he has a case against me, I urge him to follow through on his threat immediately. Canadians want this scandal to be investigated in a legal setting where Liberals do not control the proceedings," he added.

"Andrew Scheer's press conference today is yet another attempt at talking about anything other than his own damaging plans for the economy," he said.
