“Today I can announce that one of the first priorities of the agency will be to update the Canada Water Act, the threats and realities facing our environment have changed since it was written in 1970,” Trudeau said in his remarks.

Taking questions from reporters, Trudeau also reiterated his support for special rapporteur David Johnston’s recommendation against a public inquiry into allegations of foreign election interference, accusing Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre of “choosing to sit behind a veil of ignorance.”

“I think Canadians have to ask themselves the question, is that a serious leader? Is that a serious way to handle something as important as foreign countries trying to mess with our democracy, with our businesses, with our diaspora communities on an issue like this?” Trudeau asked.
