The man whose appearance during Justin Trudeau’s India tour led to a lot of trouble for the PM, makes statement and takes questions

No matter where he goes or what he wants to talk about, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apparently can't escape the spectre of the Jaspal Atwal scandal.

Trudeau provided no clarity when asked about Atwal's invitation when he appeared to support multiple theories explaining the scandal.

"He was given a 20 year sentence and after five years the parole board found that he was a very low risk to re-offend," says his lawyer Rishi Gill. "He's integrated back into society in exactly the most optimal manner we expect."
