Liberals, Greens, NDP call on Poilievre to apologize over RCMP comments
Pierre Poilievre's criticism of RCMP leadership sparked demands for apology from federal Liberals and Greens amid allegations of political interference involving former PM Trudeau.
- On Oct. 20, 2025, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called Royal Canadian Mounted Police leadership `despicable` in a YouTube interview last week, accusing it of covering up for former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
- Accusing Trudeau of wrongdoing, Poilievre alleged the former prime minister could have faced charges over the 2016 Aga Khan scandal, `probably` broke the law in the SNC-Lavalin affair, and called for the former RCMP commissioner's resignation on Oct. 21, 2022.

- Federal Liberals demanded an apology and Government House leader Steven MacKinnon called on Poilievre to apologize in Parliament today, while Conservative MPs were instructed Monday to emphasize support for the Mounties and promise more resources.
