Trudeau calls Canada Soccer spying scandal ‘unfortunate’ but mum on MPs’ decision not to hold public hearing

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Parliament Wednesday that the Canada Soccer spying scandal was “extremely unfortunate,” but he declined to weigh in on a decision by a Commons committee to not hold a public hearing into the matter.Mr. Trudeau’s first public comments on the drone-spying controversy at the Paris Olympics in July came in response to a question by NDP MP Niki Ashton. Speaking on a day that Olympians were visiting Parliament, Ms. Ashton asked why the Liberals were “blocking efforts at accountability” into the cheating scheme.
