Advantage @JustinTrudeau over @ThomasMulcair #NDP MP trusted Trudeau with personal info over her own leader
OTTAWA — The NDP MP who approached Justin Trudeau says she never wanted to “destroy” the reputation of a Liberal MP, she just wanted the Liberal leader to know what kind of people he had in his caucus.
In an hour-long conversation with The Huffington Post Canada, the MP said she approached Trudeau while they were on the same bus after landing in Hamilton to attend Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s funeral. The allegations against former CBC host Jian Ghomeshi were weighing on her, and she was troubled by what was happening to one of her NDP colleagues. She saw the Liberal leader who, in a rare moment, had no one around him.
The NDP MP said she sat next to Trudeau and asked him if he was aware of allegations from another female NDP MP about Liberal MP Scott Andrews.
“I thought that this was unacceptable, and I asked him if he knew about it,” she told HuffPost.
This MP said Trudeau didn’t know anything about the allegations. “I said: personally, I would not like someone like that close to me.”
Andrews vehemently denies any wrongdoing.
