This time, the Conservatives are responding to a briefing given to journalists during the prime minister’s trip to India last month by a government official they say was Jean, Trudeau’s national security adviser. The official suggested to reporters that factions within the Indian government may have orchestrated the presence of Jaspal Atwal, who was convicted of the attempted murder of an Indian cabinet minister in B.C. in 1986, at an official event in an attempt to embarrass Trudeau. The Tories want the official to appear before a committee of parliamentarians and repeat what was told to reporters.

“When a convicted attempted murderer appears at an official Government of Canada event, that is serious,” Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said in a statement on Facebook on Thursday evening, as the voting marathon began. “When the prime minister then blames a foreign government for his mistake, that is even worse. Canadians deserve to know the truth about what happened during the Atwal affair. Justin Trudeau is trying to hide the one person who can set the record straight.”

Neither Trudeau nor Scheer were present as the action got underway Thursday. Ahead of the votes, Conservative and NDP sources said their MPs would take shifts as the voting progressed. “We’ll have a bit of a rotation to keep things moving and make sure people are properly fed and properly rested and all that stuff,” said a Conservative source. “We’ll give them breaks from time to time.”
